james stewart and christian robertson

You won't find a baptismal record for Christian Robertson as her father only did that for his sons.  That was not unusual if the family were not well off, and you will find that there were a fair number of sons.
 
We are not going to spoil your fun at finding them, which should be fairly easy with an unusual combination of parental fore-names. 

When you have the baptismal dates we'll save you some Credits and tell you where the family was living - they really moved around the parish, which suggests that Christian's father was either an artisan (e.g. shoe-maker or weaver), or an agricultural labourer.  Our guess would be the latter if he didn't have enough spare money to get the daughters' baptisms recorded in the OPR.

As we said, they moved around the parish much more than a family who were renting land to farm.

We've added the National Grid Reference (NGR) for the first one.  You can find the others on the Borenich web-site Gazetteer.  Are you using the NLS on-line Ordnance Survey maps?  If not, get back to us.

Sorry, it's impossible to say whether these are additional sisters without a lot of delving.

Many of the early baptisms in this area vaguely mention Invervack. Being one of the most fertile areas in the parish, Invervack comprised several separate farms. So an Invervack birth could have taken place at any of the following: Balnadalloch (Haugh of Invervack); Dondamharg; Margdou of Invervack; Margagheat; Margrockich; Miltown of Invervack; Easter Invervack and Glaicneid of Easter Invervack. Wester Invervack covered the same farms with the exception of the last two.

What about his brothers?  If you could identify any of these you might find additional sisters with them.

You might pick up some with death certificates but they would be in their 60s and 70s by 1855.
