Hi, traced a great+ grandfather through his marriage in 1830s. His spouse info states who her dad was but no mention of her mum (Did she not know her mum? I have managed to trace her mum latterly but why no mention of her on the marriage record?). And most importantly, for my tree, there is no mention of his parents on the record. Did he not know them? Did they die early? Any help appreciated as I have been tearing my hair out on this one.

Some Scottish parochial marriages state the groom's occupation and the bride's father - you are fortunate to have the bride's father's name. It is not a question that she did not know her mother, just that the Minister did not record it [not essential for the purpose of recording the marriage].
As OC it is not until 1855 in Scotland that both sets of parents are listed
