Thanks Argyllgran this is the marriage 1912 of Margaret McKenzie. Thomas McKenzie parents are different.

Marriages that took place more than 75 years can be viewed online at Scotlandspeople.

However, this looks like a possibility for Margaret's marriage - view the cert online, on SP, with credits, to see if this is the right one:

1912 MAIR JOHN
MCKENZIE MARGARET WALKER
CALTON (GLASGOW) GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/03 0254


And her death? too recent to view online - you'd have to buy the cert:

1969 MAIR MARGARET W Other surname:MACKENZIE
F 82 GLASGOW GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/02 0507

On ScotlandsPeople, for marriages from 1855 onwards, you can't add mms as a search term, so can't narrow the search down.

Without spending credits to view the certs online, you can't tell who each groom's parents were.

There are no marriages for Alexander Black McKenzie/MacKenzie in all Scotland 1901-40 - but there are lots for Alexander McKenzie/Mackenzie. Or he may not have married, or may have married somewhere else.

A possibility for Thomas (view cert online with credits - much cheaper than buying the cert):
1924 MACKENZIE THOMAS BLACK
HENDRY MARY CRAIG POLLOKSHIELDS GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/18 0095
There's also the marriage of a Thomas B, but not in Glasgow, and lots of Thomas Mackenzies without middle names given.

Presume you have found them on the later census,s

To find out who they married you would have to use Scotlands People which isn't a subs site , but if they married before c1911 you can download the marriage record from the site .after that you would have to buy any certs through the site. Think they are still £10 each
