Lockhart family of Arran, Ayrshire Scotland

[Little Nell]

from the marriage details posted by Annie earlier, Jane Moffat/Clark looks likely to be Helen's sister

Definitely.  The IoW BDM index has Margaret Clark's mother's maiden name as Moffat/Moffet.

So one wonders what happened to Helen/Ellen Lockhart by 1891?

I wonder if this is her in New York by 1900 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MSXQ-N2X

I can't see a death for her in Scotland so far so this could be why.

Could explain why daughters Annie and Mary headed off there in 1900. Can't see original manifest so far with the details Rosie posted earlier regarding the Anchoria's arrival in NY in July 1900. Wondered what they gave for contacts in the UK & US.

TIMELINE

1882 – Birth of Mary Lockhart - 20A Beckford Street, Hamilton, Lanark
1881 Census – Soldiers Barracks, Hamilton, Lanark (Born Beith, Ayr)
1871 Census - Parkhurst Barracks Isle of White Hampshire (Born Scotland)
1869 – Marriage – Barracks, Dundee
1862 – Enlisted - 26 th Foot Regiment Glasgow (Born Irvine, Ayr)
1861...Outstanding
1851... Ditto

From this so far, maybe we can assume John was born somewhere in Ayr?

Annie according to the record on Find My Past John attestation date was 28 Dec 1860 and he was 20 years old and 6 months

Wendy, the info. was taken from Reply #61 (Rosie) probably a typo but it was more for the PoB & where likely to find John in 1861 

Nell,

Apologies if you interpreted my questioning wrongly re Isabella Campbell but I knew the doc was from SP, it was the wording of Isabella Campbell which I wondered about simply because if it didn't state 'm/s' this would have been ref. to them not having been married which was my concern being as we now have 2 surnames for her or we are looking at 2 different people who by coincidence have a forename of Isabella

Great find Monica!

All seems to fit with the bonus of how many children born & how many still living.

Children basically confirmed although I don't know which one was deceased by 1900?...

John (b Aberdeen)
Isabella (b India, East)
James (b England)
Ellen Lockhart (b Glasgow, Lanark)
William Lockhart (b England)
Anne/Annie (b Hamilton, Lanark) – (After census night)
Mary (Frances) (b Hamilton, Lanark)

I wonder now if this birth could be the root (pun not intended) of the confusion?
Was this Isabella Campbell Stewart the mother?

From scotlandspeople;

STEWART ISABELLA CAMPBE (Campbell but the index is limited for characters)
WILLIAM STEWART/ANN CAMPBELL FR847 (Parents & names in the line of John & Helen/Ellen) 
27/06/1803
578/50 171 Ayr

Although born 1803 she’d still be of an age for giving birth to John (with approx dates we have) 1840-1842

This seems likely (in my opinion) to be a good possibility although no way of proving it for now?

Christening of Isabella Campbell Stewart from familysearch.org which may be relevant later?
