This may be the family in the 1841 index of names but there is no trace of them in the 1851 index.

My aunt's maiden name was Mowat, her parents were William Mowat and Bridget McGuckin. William's father was David "Mott". This was a spelling error that went on for a few generations. (Just another possibility for you to look at.)

Thanks Janice
Might be worth looking into the "Mott" variation.

Just for info ... there is one other family name that is a variant of yours  "Mouatt" in the 1851 index for Glasgow ... . living in Calton you have
Janet  Mouatt aged 53
Margaret aged 25
Mary aged 23
and William aged 15 .....


a slightly different spelling but possibly linked in somewhere along the line.

Just found two more variations in my Aunt's line. "Mote" and "Moat".

Hi Elaine

I searched Scotland's People website for births & marriage in the parish registers.

I found:

Marriage:
Laurence   Mowat   
Married:   18th November 1825
Isabella   Watt      St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh

Births:
Isabella Mouat        14th October   1826 
St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh
Father: Lawrence Mouat
Mother: Isabella Watt

Janet Mouat            31st December 1828   
St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh
Father: Laurence Mouat
Mother: Isabella Watt

Lawrence Mouat      10th February 1831   
St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh
Father: Lawrence Mouat
Mother: Isabella Watt

James Mowat             24th May  1833   
St. Cuthbert's, Edinburgh
Father: Lawrence Mowat
Mother: Isabel Watt

Margaret Mouat      19th July  1835   
Barony, Glasgow
Father: Lawrence Mouat
Mother: Isabella Watt

John Mowat             18th March  1838   
Barony, Glasgow
Father: Laurence Mowat
Mother: Isabella Watt

William Mouat        2nd August  1840   
Barony, Glasgow
Father: Lawrence Mouat
Mother: Isabella Watt

These were all I could find for Mouat or Mowat before 1854 with mother Isabella Watt. I tried other varients, but could find nothing else. I even checked for different spellings of mother's name.
