You won't be able to view the marriage online but you will be able to view ? download Thomas's death registration entry from Scotlandspeople. That will name his parents provided the informant knew the details.

Lisa,
Are you certain about Thomas's year of birth?
Did he father a child at 70yrs old?

A quick check on SP does show the McGeachy/ Gemmell marriage of 1958.
Both sets of parents will be listed on the marriage cert.

Edit:
Age at time of marriage will also be on the 1958 marriage cert.
There are at least 3 males named Thomas McGeachy b circa 1887 ( various parts of Renfrewshire) showing on both 1891 and 1901 census returns in Renfrewshire.
You will need the parents names from the marriage cert
