Female relative married John Riley in 1877 and had a son John Edward born 11 pm, 25 Dec 1880 in the stables at Carstairs House.
1881 Census has him as Carriage Hirer, 45 St Leonard, Carstairs, Lanark but after that can't locate them anywhere.
Children I know of were James and John Edward Riley, born 1878 & 1880 Carstairs.

Mary Tonner born Dumfries 1842-52 by other census data, John born Dumfries (father Daniel, mother Martha Deacon) same period.
Both families were of Irish descent but living in Dumfries circa 1820 onwards.
I found them on the 1881 census but lost them afterwards and you try searching John and Mary Riley!
I had hoped some of their family might be researching them.
