Hi Flst, 
James,age 4, is with John and Elspet Edward his uncle and maternal aunt at Chapelbrae, Newhills on the 1841 Census. If you are using Freecen he has be transcribed as James Steward.
I have looked for Isobel but no joy:(

Aeife...There is a OPR death/burial on 16th April of 1837 (weeks after James's birth) of an Isabel Tocher at Fyvie, Aberdeenshire  :-\. Have't viewed it, as I've no credits. It might of course not be the right Isabel. Fyvie is not that close to Newhills. But perhaps the burial was there and not the death?

Looby :)

Went back to Scotlands People to look at James' birth record, and it DOES say "James Stewart in Folkston (maybe, hard to decipher), had a son"......also says William Tocher of Eastside, and John Edward of Braehead (?).
Rustled around and found copy of marriage for James Stewart & Mary McArthur. This was 13 November 1863, District of Blythswood, Glasgow. As to James' parents, says "James Stewart, farmer (deceased), and Isabella Stewart, m.s. Tocher (deceased).
I, also, have exhausted my credits at SP for the time being, so further searches will have to be with Family Search.
