I take it that you've  been through the online archive of the Greenock Telegraph, also at the Watt Library.

Chaplain,
If you have hit a brick wall I would recommend that you book a slot at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow for the day. You can view all the records that you want and it only costs about 50p per copy when you print them. Its a productive day out and you may find a few things that you didn't already know. Its about £15 per person. Heres the link http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=3214

PS just noticed that this original post is 9 years old. :-)

While the post may be nine years old, I still come back every once in a while to see if someone has some new resources.  I had not heard of the Watts Library "Intimations" so will be checking that out.  I have made several trips to Scotland since the original post and I now live in Essex, England having moved there from Canada just over a year ago. Each December when we go to St.Andrews' for Hogmanay, I make a trip to Scotland's People for a day's research which is opens a few more doors but frustratingly still cannot find the birth of Elizabeth's sister, Mary.  I have her marriage certificate (having seen it up close and live) but the information on it is like that on Elizabeth's - not really correct when it comes to her age so still on the hunt.  My other brick wall is that Elizabeth's husband, William Brown, was supposedly born in Jamaica and with a name like that, even having hints as to his parents' names (which are common as well) I have resigned myself to being able to go back any further.  But every once in a while I try again.  Possibly as more comes on-line, the wall will come down.  Thanks for your suggestions and links.  I have appreciated them.   :)
