I think we have found the correct mother it's the father Jacob Owens that's the problem .Obviously never been a marriage and nothing matching on census records for him

It is odd that there are two Jacob Owens in Kilmarnock  - Jacob was not such a common name and Jacob Owens is even more uncommon. 
The two Jacobs are too young at 12 on1841 Census to be putative fathers.
One of the Jacob's is recorded as being 24 on 1851 Census - the other is 23.

William gives his age as 19 when he marries in Feb 1860.
If this age is correct he would not have been born until sometime after Feb 1841. He might not have been born until after the 1841 Census which could explain why he can't be found on it .
How consistent is he with ages on Censuses?

There is an Agnes Richmond aged 15 employed as a female servant at Low Armsheugh ( a farm I suspect) in Irvine on 1841 Census. ( Her age may have been rounded down as many were on the 1841)
James and Agnes Wyllie ( spelt with 2 L's) are at Cotton Row, Irvine on the 1851 Census - Agnes's place of birth is Symington, Ayrshire. Agnes is recorded as 27 years old. James is 40.

William Owens is aged 11 at Kilmaurs on  1851 Census  but in fact he is living at the village of Crosshouse in Kilmaurs Parish.

This means Agnes could have been around 15/16 years old when she gave birth.

It makes you pay for 30 credits though which I don't need and I have wasted a lot of money on this website in the past.  Why they can't have had a monthly subscription like other sites.

I'm afraid to access William Jamieson's death certificate to see what information has been given by the informant of his death, someone has to buy credits.

His death certificate, may have his parents' names recorded, if the informant knew that info.

Hi - there is no option to search the 1921 Census using place of birth on Scotland's People.

There are 9 Annie Morris aged between 19-22 on the Census. Two have middle initials. Annie B and Annie R. One is an Annie Jane Morris.
I looked at the ref. no for each Annie Morris.

Then, searching the name Morris in each area for all 9 women - 6 of the Annie Morris appeared to be living with other people called Morris (they all shared the same ref).
Three, listed below, do not appear to be living with anyone called Morris.
