Welcome to the boards John.

When you say "any information" what have you got already and where have you searched.

What 'other' sites have you looked at?

And your dates don't make sense, I'm afraid

Where was John born?

EDITED

I see that the info is posted on here on various censuses

What do you actually wish us to look for?

Can't see their marriage.

There's a marriage of a Bernard McWilliams and Mary Anne Johnston in Glasgow in 1845 - but that's not them, mistranscribed or misheard.
That couple are together in 1851, both born in Ireland.

He was shown as 65 on 1881 census, so why do you think you have the wrong date? You have the wrong century, but one assumes that was a typing error.
