But the 1871 census has Edward and Elisabeth McArthur living with the step children, John Brown (also John Roberts Brown), Jean (or Jane) and Elisabeth. Hence I believe they are Elisabeth McArthurs children.

No I haven't found Elisabeth or Jean. This is where the Lilybank comes from.

John Roberts Brown, born 14 Nov 1858, Illegitimate, mother is Elisabeth Brown a Winder.
She resides at Green St Calton Glasgow when he is born.
He is born at the "Lie in Hospital" in Glasgow, which we think is Glasgow Royal Maternity in Rottenrow.

Edited:

Could this be Jean, despite the 1871 census reference to Lillybank?

BROWN
JEANIE FLEMING

Calton (Glasgow)

Could this be John?

Yes thats him, I wondered if "Roberts" was significant.

Jeanie Fleming Brown has her mother as Isabella Brown, Domestic Servant. Is Isabella a recognised version of Elisabeth??

24 Feb 1863 and Illegitimate.

Mothers address 106 Gallowgate Glasgow.

There is also an amendment, interesting, Duncan McArthur was married to Isabella afterwards

That's interesting. Have you found any marriage records for Duncan McArthur and Isabella Brown?

No only Duncan McArthur and Isabella McColl in July 1863, which is too early.

Elizabeth and Edward McArthur's first child was Isabella, born 1865 and died 1868, right?

The top line I think says "Lanarkshire" but then there is a second word maybe starts with a "Q", Quarter maybe?
