It's likely that he was a rellie of some kind rellie.Have you tried the IGI for possible births of Thomas &Alan? Was Cumbernauld the Parish of baptism or where he lived have you found him on any Censuses?

Hi, had a look for your Alan found qne which might be a possible
ALLAN STIRLING b 3rd Aug 1783 ch 10th Aug 1783 Kirkintilloch
Can't find a marriage for him or a Mary with a father Alan. This Alan doesn't have a sister Mary either. Perhaps Alan was Mary's uncle.
I think I have better news about Mary
MARY STIRLING = MATTHEW BARRIE 15th Sept 1826 Cumbernauld
CHILDREN ALLAN STIRLING BARRIE ch 15th Apr 1827 Slamannan AGNUS BARRIE ch 17th Aug 1828 Slamannan MATTHEW BARRIE ch 4th Apr1830 Slamannan JAMES BARRIE ch 11th Mar 1832 Slamannan WILLIAM BARRIE ch 18th May 1834 Slamannan ARCHIBALD GRAHAM BARRIE ch 7th May 1836 Slamannan ISABELLA BARRIE ch 23rd Mar 1839 Slamannan ANDREW BARRIE ch 6th June 1841 Slamannan MARY BARRIE b 3rd Oct 1843 ch 12th May 1844 CUMBERNAULD
You will see that Mary was back in C/nauld for the christening of her youngest daughter. Not a problem a couple of hours walking I've done it a few times. A check of the 1841 census for Slamanan, Stirlingshire you may get Matthews occupation. Miner??Perhaps young Thomas was there too.
All of the above come from extracted entries on the IGI.
The only thing I saw about THOMAS RUSSELL THOMAS RUSSELL = ELIZABETH COWIE
12th Oct 1827 Cumbernauld Also listed on the same date in Denny.
Both listings are submitted ( not so reliable ) However there is an extracted entry for a MARGARET RUSSELL ch 6th Nov 1837 in Denny ,parents Thomas and Elizabeth.There are several submitted entries for other childen
Hope this helps Val

Thanks Val, it really does, because I can get someone to confirm the records for me now I know where to look. The first child's name is the big clue here I think.
On the 1851 census, Matthew is shown as a labourer. What really interested me though was Mary's birth: 1805 in Calder, Lanark. No wonder I can't find her. Looking in the wrong place! I'll post a look-up request in Lanark.

Hi, glad I could help. Meant to mention the Mary born in Cadder, thought she was most likely one for you. Not surprised the Kirk had something to say about it,small village and her age they couldn't hide it.
Have you had any luck with Allan Stirling? I see there are a lot of submitted entries related to this family TAKE CARE ! I don't feel he was born in Cadder but I'm wrong as often as I'm right. I though Mary's son Archibald Graham might be a clue but Graham is the ms for Matthew's Grandmother.
MATTHEW BARRIE ch 2nd Sept 1792 Slamannan
Father - John Barrie Mother - Agnes Young
Have you looked for Mary's DC, if she died after 1855 you should be able to confirm her parents names from that.
If you think I can do anything in C/nauld send me a message.
Val

Well I've found an Allan Stirling who had a daughter Mary in Cadder in 1800. It fits too well to dismiss. So I'm going with that. Cadder is full of Stirlings and it's so close by it seems reasonable. All the submitted records are correct according to Scotland's people. All my problems now on the Stirli ng side seem to be in Cadder. Cumbernauld just isn't giving up its Russells, LOL and that's the most important line for me personally.

Me again, think this might be your Russells,
THOMAS RUSSELL ch 30th Jan1799 SLAMANNAN
Father - Thomas Russell Mother - Janet Storrie
Thomas Russell = Janet Storrie 4th Dec 1790 Slamannan
Eight children listed to this couple on IGIs, five extracted three submitted.
Thomas and Janet -births I think are:-
THOMAS RUSSELL ch 26th Dec 1762 Slamannan
Father - John Russell Mother - Jean Russell
This is a submitted entry so possibly they did not know her ms, or it could be two Russells marrying.
JANET STORRIE ch 4th Dec 1768 NEW MONKLAND LANARK
Father - Andrew Storrie Mother - Grisel Thomson ( extracted entry )
My reason for choosing this Janet was that only one of Thomas and Janet's children had a middle name, ANDREW STORRIE RUSSELL.
