Hi
I'm looking for any details on a Mary Ritchie who married Thomas Staley (b England) on 13th July 1787 at Leadhills Lanarkshire. Mary died 13th March 1831 at Muirkirk. Her husband Thomas is found on 1841/1851 census living in Muirkirk with two of his daughters. Thomas and Mary lived in Muirkirk all their married life and had five children born there, Margaret 1788, Anne 1791, Fortune 1792, Jonathon 1794 and Thomas 1796. I have all the Staley side of the family but nothing whatsoever about Mary Ritchie. I don't have a marriage cert for Thomas and Mary as the date is taken from a family bible in Australia and i don't know how accurate the info is as this could have been written at a later date. I also don't have a birth for Mary or a burial record. She is believed to have died 13th March 1831 in Muirkirk and Thomas died in 1851 in Muirkirk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
