The 1851 census www.freecen.org.uk/search_records/59057f89e9379091b1508189/helen-monteath-1851-stirlingshire-stirling-1809-?locale=en

Margaret would have died just after this from what you found 

There looks to have been at least:

Margaret www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VQ7P-Q61
Jane www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VQ7P-3ZG
James c. 1833-4

Possible entry for Helen nee McCulloch in 1841, already a widow likely?

This might also be of interest, quite a few Monteaths, handy when documents are scarce...

Also, from the 1841 census (see my reply #4 above), Helen b 1829/1830 and Isabella b 1831/1832.

Diddy, I’ve been distracted from my Monteaths by my McIntyres and McPhersons but will get back to them soon and let you know if I see a common ancestor.

Bit stuck now as cant find marriage James  to Margaret Baird on sp.
Got all their children and daughter Elizabeth's death 1858 confirms their names.  She's my line.

My Monteaths are the family on the Ryeland tree that Annie posted (#3). I'm still unpicking them but it looks as if my 5x g grandparents are John Monteath and Christian (E)adie and I descend from two of their sons:
1. John Monteath b 1766 m Mary McLaurin > Christian Monteath b 1794 m William Cairns > William Cairns b 1831 m Helen Monteath b 1835 > Agnes Isabella Cairns b 1866 d 1959, my great grandmother, remembered by my older brothers.
2. Henry Monteath b 1769 m Janet Sharp > Alexander Monteath b 1801 m Agnes Anderson > Isabella Monteath b 1830 [sister of Helen Monteath above] m James Kirk > John Kirk b 1856 d 1899, my great grandfather, who married Agnes Isabella Cairns above.
So a lot of intermarriage to get my head round! Agnes and John, my g grandparents, were noted as 'Cousins German' - first cousins - on their marriage certificate.
I'm not sure how/if you fit in. I've not seen a link yet but that doesn't mean there isn't one. My Monteaths were Perthshire farmers - my brother still has one of the farms they married into, in Glendevon - and land records and wills will be useful when I get to them.
