Transcribed as Lockart

Is this the same John Lockhart or am I getting my John Lockhart's mixed up? 

(brilliant find Rosie!!!!)

[Rosinish]

John Lockhart, husband of Helen Moffat, died of cancer 31 May 1888 aged 49 at Royal Infirmary Glasgow.  Informant was his brother.  Both William and John were residents of Rothesay at that time.  Parents names are given as Archibald Lockhart and Isabella Campbell, both deceased.  Archibald was a handloom weaver.

Given that William was the informant, one presumes that William gave the correct information.

Just a pity his army records don't mention anything on parents  just his marriage

At least we have found him in England 1871

"Parents names are given as Archibald Lockhart and Isabella Campbell, both deceased"

Does this say Isabella Lockhart m/s Campbell?

A possibility for John and brother William in 1851

A John Lockhart 9 and a William Reid 3 living with their grandparents James and Euphemea Weir at Muirhead  Lesmahagow Lanark 
Best fit I could find although everybody in the house is listed as born Lesmahagow
The other John Lockharts not living with parents both nephews one born Wigtown the other Renfrew

No sign of a daughter Isabella or a marriage between a Weir and Campbell

Not them have just found this John's baptisim parents John Lockhart and Euphemia Weir

"Parents names are given as Archibald Lockhart and Isabella Campbell, both deceased"

Does this say Isabella Lockhart m/s Campbell?

Annie

Yes it does.

I have tried to give information that is supported by official documents.  So I have no idea if the maiden name is Stewart or Campbell, and nothing is showing up in the indexes at the moment. 

I did find two Lockhart children listed in 1891 at a Catholic orphanage in Rothesay.  This was Annie and William - their ages and places of birth are roughly correct for the two children of that name in John and Helen/Ellen's family.  But no proof

Nell, with what you found for Ann and William, I think Mary is showing in Edinburgh for 1891:

Jane Clark 51 b. Larbert Stirlingshire
William Clark 17 b (England), Kent
John Clark 14 b. Hamilton
Thomas Clark 12 b. Hamilton
Margaret Clark 20 b. Wight, Isle of
Jane Clark 14 b. Hamilton
Mary Lochart 8 niece b. Hamilton
Thomas Collins 30 visitor

Address: 2 W Fountain Pl Edinburgh

I think husband/father may be a John Clark from an earlier census.

ADDED: from the marriage details posted by Annie earlier, Jane Moffat/Clark looks likely to be Helen's sister https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X1LB-TCM
