Margaret Hay who I believe died between 1841 and 1851.

Margaret is on the 1841/1851 census.

 
MARGARET HAY age 60  likely death 10/06/1753 Strichen. (On SP)

Like you, I assumed that this was the Margaret Hay the OP was referring to - but, through the powers of deduction  - I think we’re actually looking for Margaret MacGillvray (ms Hay), who married James MacGillvray in 1833 in Aberdeen.

Here are the two children referred to in King Edward in 1851:

1851 Crudie Farm
John Mackie, head, 32, Farmer, King Edward
Mary Mackie, wife, 36, King Edward
Janet Mackie, daughter, 5, King Edward
John Mackie, son, 2, King Edward
William Hutcheon, visitor, 34, Farmer, King Edward
Jane Anderson, servant,  17, Gamrie, Banffshire
Ann Hay, servant 14, Monquhitter
James McGillvray, servant, 13, Aberdeen

1851 Cook
John Hay, head, 45, Linen Weaver, Monquhitter
Isobel Hay, wife, 41, Monquhitter
Janet Hay, daughter, 16, Monquhitter
Catherine Hay, daughter, 8, King Edward
Christian Roger, mother in law, 69, Monquhitter
Helen Panton, niece, 22, Monquhitter
John McGillivray, cousin, 7, Aberdeen

I think this may be Margaret McGillvray (ms Hay) and James in 1841:

1841 Flour Mill Brae, Aberdeen
Margaret McGillivray, 25, Shoe Binder, Aberdeenshire
James McGillivray, 3, Aberdeenshire

Only two families in Strichen, one was an Army Pensioner the other no idea as he died pre 1841.

In Aberdeen (county) far too many without having more information (ie names) 368 recorded Marriages between 1800-1830

From "A history of the burgh and parish of Ellon, Aberdeenshire," James Godsman, 1958.

The Rev. Nathaniel Grieve, M.A. He was born in 1782, the son of John Grieve, Oldmill, parish of Turriff. In 1803, he graduated at Marischal College, Aberdeen, and in that year was ordained to the charges of Chapelhall and Tillydesk. For a period he was in charge of the congregation at Old Meldrum. In 1806, Mr Grieve married firstly, Miss Ann Pirie of Orchardtown, parish of Udny, and had issue:
John, a clergyman in the Church of England, who died in 1886. Mary, wife of James Wilson, M.D., Staff Surgeon; she died in 1891. Isobel and Helen, who died in childhood.
In 1815, he married secondly, Miss Sophia Robertson, 1790-1862, and had issue:
Alexander, M.D., Fraserburgh; he died in 1891. Nathaniel, M.A. Samuel, M.A., 1831-1895. Jane, married the Very Rev. Alexander Harper, M.A., at St Mary's, Inverurie, and Dean of Aberdeen. Sophia, died 1840. Elizabeth, died 1885. Margaret, and Jane, who died in childhood.
Mr Grieve carried out the plan which Bishop Skinner had much at heart, viz., the uniting of the two charges at Tillydesk and Chapelhall. A new church, built in 1816, at Chapelhall, on the south bank of the River Ythan at Ellon, was opened on Sunday, 28th July, 1816. The chapel was to have been opened by Bishop Skinner, but he died two weeks before this date, and the sermon which he intended using at the consecration, was read by Mr Grieve.
The first chapel at Craighall was a commodious oblong building with a small apse for a sanctuary, in front of which stood the "three decker pulpit,", reading, and clerk's desk, one above the other. The chapel was considered the best in the diocese. In 1862, improvements were made, but its bulging walls and general instability, marked its early demolition. Mr Grieve is described as "a worthy, good man, a good student, who left a valuable library." During his incumbency, Mr Grieve resided at Kinharrachie Lodge, in default of a Rectory at Craighall. In 1863, Mr Grieve retired to Aberdeen, where he died in 1866*, aged 84. He is buried in the Old Churchyard of Ellon, there being no burial ground at Craighall till the present St Mary's-on-the-Rock was built.

*Gravestone says 1863. Godsman sometimes makes errors, so you should always check the facts.
