Hi Allan
Have you got the marriage certificate for Margery and James? That usually has father's name on for bride and groom.
There is on IGI an extracted record for a Margey Kay , christening 1st October 1826 in Penistone, mother Hariet Kay.

Re: "do you think that there may be a possibility of 2 margery kay`s in penistone b around 1826/7?..."
It's not so unusual as you might think. They would probably be related, but all you need is, say, two brothers naming their kids after the same family member of their, or an earlier, generation. You could check the 1841 census - Margery would probably not be married by then. NB May is a diminutive of Margery, and Margery has variant spellings, e.g. Marjorie.
