How could she marry in Feb 1845 if she died in Jan 1845?

And that marriage date would also mean that the child was illegitimate

Can you help me find who the parents of Margaret RIGG were. She died as Margarewt Stitt 21/1/1845 Castle Douglas age 24 (B1821) wife of Thomas STITT. I found this at Monu Inscriptions at Kirkchrist (The Stell). Their only child was Mary STITT who died 28/2/1849 age 5 years - only daughter of Thomas Stitt DRAPER.

There marriage looks like being 21/2/1842 Kirkcudbright - ref familysearch.org.
:-)
Thanks Pittsy
