What date was the marriage? Do you know what denomination the Stewarts were? Any idea when James Stewart was born (this could make a diffence as to what records will be available)?
No such townland in County Londonderry called 'Ture' but there are 4 'Culmore' townlands: Culmore & Culmore Level  (Templemore Parish) and Culmore Lower & Culmore Upper (Tamlaghtfinlagan Parish- near Ballykelly).
P.S. where is 'Kennedy Street'?

Hi   William  Stewart and Martha Ferguson were married in 2nd Strand Presby Church  Londonderry 23 May 1888  Place of residence is Ture in Donegal   Williams father's James Occupation is given as fisherman Martha's father Matthew is given as a carpenter I have found the grave of William in Greebank Presby church in Ture where all it states on the headstone is Stewart Family of Culmore & Ture  on Marriage cert it also lists Williams occupation as a carpenter although I do know that he later became the postmaster at Ture Post Office .......... Kennedy Street is in Londonderry   and is now part of the Fountain Estate it used to run  off Hawkin Street   behind Welch Margaresons Shirt Factory

Have index for Londonderry Sentinel but it only goes up to 1869.
Not sure if this site might help:

Have you had any luck with church records?
