Manitoba not included in 1861 census.
Did you order Mary's 1936 death certificate?  If her informant knew her parents names that information would be included in the certificate and it is not expensive.
Obituary notice in Winnipeg paper noted that she was born July 12, 1849 Selkirk, Manitoba and was the daughter of James Muir.  One brother survived her.

added:
FamilySearch.org has census indexes for Manitoba from 1832-1870.  These are heads of household only.  Unindexed so it would take awhile to find Muir surnames.  Since Mary married in St. Andrews, Lisgar you might center your search in that area.
