I bought some wild margies from newark last sunday and was wondering if it was ok to put them in with captive bred snails?

I would keep them in quarentine for about a month first, which is basically keeping them on their own and observing them and checking that there is no parasites or things in their poop or living quarters. There is still a risk after that that they could could still be carrying parasites but the chances are slim :-)
Feeding them porridge and pumkin seeds will help too at this time as they are good for the guts and help flush out any bad bits :-)

I use plain old porridge oats and mix it with cold water, you can mix it with warm too but most snails seem to prefere cold :-)
