Kilsyth Census information STUART/STEWART

[bates]

Hi
I've spent the afternoon searching for the family of my Christina Stewart.

I found her married in the 1881 Census to David Connell (a weaver's son in Paisley) with the information - Christina (born 1850 Kilsyth Stirlingshire)

so I found her 1851 (I THINK)

Elizabeth S (this S may not be Stewart)  H    W F 39 1812 Washerwoman Kilsyth
William        Son    19 (32) – Kilsyth
Elizabeth    dau 9 1842 Sch Kilsyth
Ann            dau  7 (44) Sch Kilsyth
John       son  4 (47) – Kilsyth
Christian     dau 0 (51) – Kilsyth

but no father and the first son is a lot older than the rest without an occupation.

i think i've found a couple of sisters living at separate residences in the Main Street Kilsyth in 1861

Elisabeth Serv Unm F 20 (41) Gen Serv Kilsyth
Anne Stewart Serv Unm F 18 (43)Genl Serv Kilsyth

But I have found no other people in any other census

I wonder how a girl from Kilsyth marries a "Carter" boy from Paisley?  the only possible link I can currently dream up is that David Connell is the son of an innovative Co-op Weaver and perhaps Kilsyth Weavers heard of him???

I would REALLY appreciate your help in locating some of my Stewart/Stuart line!
with thanks

Just found Christina in 1871 by herself at STONEFIELD HOUSE, Abbey Paisley

Christina Stewart Ser Unm 19 (52) Gen Serv Kilsyth Stirl

still no sign of her mother or who her father was.

the marriage certificate for Christina and David says the father is william.
However it also says that the mother is Jeanie Burns....  Maybe she didn't really know her parents?

thanks again for any help!
