Found this on 'familysearch', although it seems a bit early for your pair: 8 Jun 1753 Ninian Kerr and Marine Caldra, Bunkle and Preston, Berwick. It is an extracted marriage from the locality. I have cross referenced this with S.P. free search and a Ninian Kerr definitely had banns called on that date  but goodness knows what his wife's name is on there as I have tried various wild cards. I think you will have to use a credit to view the wife's name.
You say that Margaret was the eldest daughter. Perhaps if you have any others they may follow the naming pattern which could help in a search.

Thanks excel i will have a look at this.
I am not convinced of the spelling of either name.

Hi CB
Marion's surname should probably be Carfrae but it comes under a multitude of spellings!
Rae
