With names like Donaldson & Graham, you probably need to look in Northern Ireland.

This site www.emeraldancestors.com/ has a possible marriage in 1850 for a Isaac Donaldson and a Mary Graham (search first for Isaac and then for Mary). It is a pay to view site and you need to pay to see the complete record.
