This family is most likely the Campbell one found in 1841 Stevenston, Ayrshire consisting of Robt, 38, Cotton Hand Loom Weaver Mary, 40 Robt, 5 Peter, 3 Marion, 3 While Marion's age is off in the transcription (and I do have to say that freecen is very careful with their transcriptions), it could be an error somewhere along the way from original record to enumerator's book becoming changed from an 8 to a 3. A unaccessible tree on ancestry.com has this info for Mary Ann, just the birth for Peter and no info on Robert at all. NAME: Mary Ann Campbell BIRTH: 21 Oct 1833 - Ayrshire, ScotlandDEATH: 04 Nov 1896 (4 Nov 1896) - Edinburgh(Midlothian)MARRIAGE: 30 Nov 1852 - Longside, Aberdeen(Aberdeenshire)PARENTS: Robert Campbell, Mary Mayor SPOUSE: William Legg I believe you can cross this family off your possibility list.
