You must have something already?
A marriage or later child?
What is the basis for your enquiry?

There are at least 6 plain Mary King 1855 +/- 1 b in Lincs. (freebmd, excluding second names)).
What is going to make any of the the 'right' one?

hello

What information I have is the following she married a James Dowse and they had at least 8 children

Rachel
Lucy
James
John
David
Charlotte
Ernest
Walter

Ernest is my Great Grandfather.

Then I'd get the marriage cert to give a father's name, date and location. , plus witnesses.

Names without geography and date are near-useless.
