Sorry but not sure what your problem is with Elizabeth. The mother's surname Mill or or Milne is interchangeable, milne meaning mill in Scots. As for Helen Stewart the witness, this is more of a problem. Although a Scottish baptismal record invariably names the mother by her maiden name, the naming of female witnesses seems to be more varied, using either married or maiden name according to the whim of the Session Clerk who wrote the record.

There is a baptism of an Elisabeth Yates to Charles Yates and Janet Stuart in Glasgow 28 Apr 1794. It is far more likely that there is simply no surviving record baptismal for your Charles. There are Yeats in Cabrach in the early 1700s, but there is a gap in the baptismal record for most of the 1730s, and anyway, even without lost records, not every birth was recorded in the parish records.
