This is the marriage of 1937, do her names match 'your' Doris ?

Reg.No./Year .. 9817/1937
Groom .. MCDONALD JOHN VINCENT
Bride .. ROBINSON DORIS AMELIA MARY
District .. BANKSTOWN

Bankstown is a suburb of Sydney

If you buy this certificate it should give you their fathers names.

Ablett, Baldwin, Coombe, Daniels, Edkins, Pascoe, Prowse, Seager

This looks like Doris's death....

Reg.No./Year .. 23835/1976
Name .. MCDONALD DORIS AMELIA
Father .. EDWIN
Mother .. WINIFRED

So. it looks like the Doris that married John McDonald was the daughter of Edwin & Winifred Robinson.

I don’t think the person who tried to help you eleven years ago still uses GR, so he/ she will probably never know you responded
