looking for their marriage in uk/or abroad, yes they could be alive, ???

If they are still alive, or could be, then we are not allowed to discuss them or show their names I'm afraid so their names should be removed :)

I can tell you that they married in the district of Dalziel in Scotland. The Ref. No. is 639/406. That's Entry 406, Ref 639/. You can buy the marriage certificate from Scotland's People and it costs £12.00.
This is the website for Scotland's People:- https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/
If you have not used them before you will need to register.

When I was searching elsewhere I came across the details for a child born to them in 1962. The birth certificate for this is also on Scotland's People.
I found records of the family travelling to Australia on the Find My Past website. Mother, father and child.
-
Was Marion born in Coventry, England? I saw a post with this name on another website. There is also a request for info on Lewis on the same site. The person looking for info for them looks to be a child of theirs. The inference from this is that both have now passed?

With confirmation of Marion's death details from giblet, this is the birth date given for her on the other site: 5 June 1936 Coventry.
Likely birth entry for her:
Births 3rd Qrt 1936
Marion M Graham
Mother's maiden name Cunningham
Coventry
Vol. 6d/ pg. 1041
There is a potential sibling (male) for Marion born in Coventry in 1932.
With Lewis's birth given as 11 Nov 1935, this looks to be his birth entry on the indexes:
LEWIS FERGUSON
1935
Rf 639 / 950
Dalziel
So, you have their marriage from GG. Their deaths from giblet. Likely births for them above. If you would like to look into their respective families, you would need to order their marriage registration. Scottish marriage certs include good details such as full names of bride and groom's father and mother, father's occupation and normally whether parents were alive or deceased at the time of the marriage. Addresses and witnesses names can also help further.
