Many thanks for your time and effort. You probably did, but did you try McEwan/McEwen - this is the way it was spelled once they arrived in Scotland in 1871. Perhaps that is why there are two marriages registered. Thanks, again. I'll keep trying to figure it out.

Used various wildcards too. Looks as though your second one is correct. I can't find any other Elizabeth Fowlers either.
