There are a few Mary E Root born in the UK circa 1840, I couldn't find any Mary Root who married Leonard Briggs although it was a very quick look because you didn't put a location down for Mary and Leonard, if you could edit and include the information I am sure you will get the help you're asking for.

what is her nationality was she an immigrant or first generation? This would help in finding this out. Plus you can always google her if you know which state she lived in and if there should be a death certificate some were it would be that state.
