Hiya,

Is this Jane Stirling from the IGI...

Bn 25 Sept 1821 Kilmarnock, Ayr daughter of Robert Stirling and Jane Rankine?

Robert and Jane married on the 19/07/1819

As you mention in this post that Jane is the daughter of a reverend I guess it makes this 1881 census look promising?

If this is Robert Stirling then I've found tonnes of stuff on him with some photos of the good reverend.
