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).

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

Is this "your" family in 1851? :-

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
