Robertson and Stewart

[fifer1947]

Killin OPR from Scotlands People

1808 Dec 22 Donald Robertson & Margt. Robertson Tullich
can had their lawful Dr baptized called Mary
then lawful Dr Margt baptized July 15th 1814
their lawful Dr. Janet baptized Novr 10th 1817
their lawful son John baptized Augt 10th 1819
their lawful son Peter baptized Decr 4th 1820
their lawful son Donald baptized May 19th 1823

I reckon this is the family of Margaret Stewart.

( Donald Robertson and Margaret Cameron's Janet Robertson was 2nd Jan 1816 - OPR )

Going by the above that would tie in with the submitted family on the IGI.  Perhaps worth following up on Peter as he appears to have a descendant interested in genealogy there may well be a tree out there already which you can check out?  His entry states Margaret Cameron as the mother.

PETER ROBERTSON    Birth:
04 DEC 1820      Killin, Perth, Scotland

Parents:
     Father:     DONALD ROBERTSON
     Mother:     MARGARET CAMERON

"Jan 2 Donald Robertson and Margaret Cameron Tullich cann a lawful Daur bap. called Janet" - Killin 1816 OPR Scotlands People 

another 5 credits and i'm even more confused

I don't know that i'm convinced. Is this even my ancestors? i just wish there was something more concrete.
The death records tie to my family but say Margaret's name is Stewart.

On a side note i wonder if Tullich refers to Tullich as in further north or Tulloch as in Perthshire.

The information on death certs is only as good as the knowledge of the informant 

On Tullich/Tulloch I would think it's the Perth one, spelling wasn't standardised it was phonetic back then ie written as it sounded.

I've got a gut feeling this is your Margaret aka Cameron/Stewart or Robertson but checking out Peter's line might help because he may have married post 1855 and that would be a gift.

As an aside, which may be pertinent if she followed naming pattern, what were the names and dob of janet's children?

[fifer1947]

You have scored!  There is a child Janet, born Alva to your Janet in 1855 there is tons of info on 1855 certificates.

Name:    Janet Mc Arthur
Gender:    Female
Birth Date:    19 May 1855
Birthplace:    ALVA,STIRLING,SCOTLAND
Father's Name:    William Mc Arthur
Mother's Name:    Janet Robertson

Do you have that certificate?

William appears to be the youngest?  To be fair he probably knew little about his grandparents.

Name:    William Mc Arthur
Gender:    Male
Birth Date:    17 Sep 1858
Birthplace:    ALVA,STIRLING,SCOTLAND
Father's Name:    William Mc Arthur
Mother's Name:    Janet Robertson

I do now!

Amazing how much info you get off these 1855 records. I like how it confirms the number of children at the time.

Yes that's right, i have William McArthur as the youngest.

The children were Margaret c1846, John c1848, Mary c1850, Robert c1853, Janet 1855 and William 1858.

William strikes again! 

b. 1891 Margaret Stewart McArthur in Alva
parents William McArthur and Jemima King married 1880 Alva

Actually that was a good point fifer1947 about the naming tradition.
Janet's second son was Robert not Donald and we know we haven't missed one because of the info on that 1855 BC

[fifer1947]

Good!    So now we are looking for Robert Robertson wife Margaret Stewart?
