This appears to be the family you are looking for
1881 Census address 46,West Burn Rows Cambuslang Lanarkshire
Alexander Forsyth age 35 born about 1847 Airdrie
Jane Forsyth age 32 born Ireland
Helen Forsyth age 8 born America
John Forsyth age 6 .....America
Jane Forsyth age 3 .....Motherwell
Margaret Forsyth age 1 Motherwell
Alice S Forsyth age 1 month

A birth registration for Alice Stewart Forsyth has the parents as Alexander Forsyth and Jane Cunningham
You would be better looking for marriage for this couple to see what it says

Thank You.

This looks good to me. I will digest the information and work out the dropped links from my previous research and see where I need to go next....probably the marriage of William and Helen
