This might or might not be what you are looking for:

Ontario Vital Index Registration - (I can get the image if you think it
might be them)

Allan McGILLEVRAY (William & Nancy McDONALD) (b: Glengarry, ON
m 28 Jan 1873, Stormont, Glengarry & Dundas Co., ON
Margery GILLES (John & Mary Gilles) (she was born in Scotland)

Different source:
Allan McGILLIS (Alec & Helen McGillis)
m 23 Oct 1867, Montreal, QC - Notre Dame
Ann GILLIS (Alexander & Mary McDONALD)

Can't find them in any other source or in the 1881 census.

nothing comes up for McGill & Gillie marriage
