Was George Weir listed in the 'father's name' box? What was george's given occupation?

Where did it say Martha? Was this listed on the Witness's section....or were George & martha both listed in the witness's section?

Ok, just realised, you have a Scottish marriage??

He married a sarah mckechnie in 1879. He was born around 1855.
I have his marriage cert that gives a george weir and martha ? (can't read)but can find nothing about them or his birth.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
