According to William's 1879 birth certificate the parents were married in Greenock in Jan 1879 but there is no matching marriage on SP.

Not uncommon for people to mis-remember the wedding date or move it back a bit before birth of first child  ;)

Isobel

Possibly spelling of Irish names making it more difficult to find the marriage on SP?
Mechan, Meechan, Meeckan, etc.
Dowie, Dowey, Doey, etc.
