Hi Harriet,
I don't have the 1841 Cencus but I looked through the BVRs and found the births of her daughter Agnes and son James. (Richard and Robert being born after the date of Statutory Registration so not listed).
BURNS, Agnes Gender: Female Birth Date: 6 Sep 1852 Birthplace: Traquair, Peebles, Scotland Recorded in: Traquair, Peebleshire, Scotland Father: Richard BURNS Mother: Elisabeth JOHNSTONE Source: FHL Film 1067922 Dates: 1808 – 1854
BURNS, James Johnstone Gender: Male Birth Date: 20 Jun 1854 Birthplace: Traquair, Peebles, Scotland Recorded in: Traquair, Peebleshire, Scotland Father: Richard BURNS Mother: Elisabeth JOHNSTONE Source: FHL Film 1067922 Dates:1808 - 1854
I looked for Elizabeth's birth in the same area and found this one (which I searched for based on her surname having an 'e' at the end and her date of birth +/- 3 years)
JOHNSTONE, Elizabeth Gender: Female Birth Date: 16 Sep 1837 Birthplace: Peebles, Peebles, Scotland Recorded in: Peebles, Peebleshire, Scotland Father: Robert JOHNSTONE Mother: Elizabeth HUNTER Source: FHL Film 1067921 Dates:1816 – 1857

Thanks for your help Anne i have come across Robert Johnstone & Elizabeth Hunter but i believe there daughter Elizabeth died around the same time as my ggggrandmother but she died in Scotland mine in NZalso following the scottish naming patterns her first daughter being Agnes i thought her mother would be Agnes i have found an James Johnstone & Agnes King so far i havent found a daughter Elizabeth thats why it will be good to see the 1841 censusthanks again Harriet
