Ooooh good find!!

Donay could easily be a mis-transcribed Dowey. Never seen 2 female witnesses to a marriage before....

Looks like you've found it  :D

Interesting that Eliza/beth's father is now James Donay not McDonnell - possibly she was asked for her father's name and she maybe said 'James', Also he's listed as labourer rather than farmer. No proof needed in those days!

Perhaps Elizabeth was originally Dowie - she may have been the daughter of Helen Dowie who married James McDonnell when Elizabeth was very young? Or am I losing the plot here  ;D

Irish Genealogy has the death of a Robert Henry, aged 42, Belfast  3rd Q, 1884. - a possible and might explain why the marriage to William was delayed.

PS - Rosie, I thought that a couple of days ago so you're not losing the plot  ;D
