It could be her -her father was James can't understand why she would marry in India

Was her father in the army? Perhaps they were in India with his regiment.

Name Mary Leadbetter
Event Type Census

Gender Female
Age 9
Birthplace Lanark
County Lanarkshire
Birth Year (Estimated) 1842

I am following James Leadbetter 1815 Roxburgh was married to Janet Liddle
she died 1839 Then he married Katherine/Catherine Richardson Midlothian 1842

Sorry just checked up on 1851 census Mary was 12 so born 1839 and her mother must have been Janet Liddle

So it might not be my Mary

sorry Thank you for looking

Is this "your" family in 1851? :-

yes Kath thats the family

The reason I thought Mary was born about 1843 to Catherine was she wasn't in the 1841 census when they were lodging with Catherine and her father but looking now their is a Mary aged 2 lodging with someone

ScotlandsPeople only shows the births of two Mary Leadbetters (or variant spelling) in Scotland 1830-42, and neither has those parents (James and Janet or variant).

This will be the one Sylann mentions for 1841:

Mary Leadbitter
in the 1841 Scotland Census
Name: Mary Leadbitter
Age: 2
Estimated birth year: abt 1839
Gender: Female
Where born: Midlothian, Scotland
Civil Parish: Edinburgh St Cuthberts
County: Midlothian
Address: Crosscauseway
Parish Number: 685/2
Household Members:
Name Age
Sophia Harley 45
Mary Harley 18
Peter Harley 12
Mary Leadbitter 2
Stephen Blyth 40

I think this is "your" Mary.
