Hi Coolmax
Have you followed them through to their deaths? If in Scotland and after 1855, hopefully their parents' names would be included on their death certs if known to the informant. Can see at least one birth for one of their children here post 1855 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FQX3-FHX which is always hopeful...
At least two possible births showing for a Donald in Comrie around the time you need (can't see anything as yet for Grace):

Hi
On www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk There is the death of a Donald Mcintyre in Comrie aged 53 in 1862
Mothers maiden name "McNaughton" This should give parents names and whether still alive
Yours Aye
