It is better to do your own research than rely on others if they don't give source information. Is this your great grandfather's marriage? :-

First name(s) WILLIAM HENRY
Last name MCDOWELL
Marriage quarter 1
Marriage year 1869
Registration month -
MarriageFinder™ WILLIAM HENRY MCDOWELL married one of these people
Emily Dawe, Edith Harriett Rundle

District number -

If it is then you could buy the marriage certificate which should give his father's name and occupation (if he knew his father), and you can then look for the family in the census.
