I have not found any further data, events for David Johnston Wilkie. Haven't found any census records, but referring back to the Poor List documenting his Sister Elizabeth, I am presuming he is one of the brothers in service at the time Elizabeth was recorded on the Poor List, as David J. being one of the youngest boys in the family and soon would be an orphan as both his parents were deceased in 8 years hence. hw
Corresponding with a descendant of David Johnston Wilkie in April 2010 via ancestry.ca. I found much of her material based on a collaboration of researchers on ancestry and not all of the data was verified, thus errors occurred.
Elspeth Hutchinson & husb John had Robert Wilkie & Christian Paul's parents different than John Wilkie & Janet Stevenson, & likewise for Christian Paul. I shared with her my OPR births, deaths and the data on Elizabeth Wilkie and slowly we are correcting poor connections.
For David Johnston, there are still many unanswered questions. Where did he go in Scotland after his Mother's death in 1834? It seems by 1841, a Brother John had moved to London, marrying a Barbara Hay and establishing his family there.
David Johnston is recorded on the 1841 Scotland Census residing with Wm & Mary Wilson family (unknown to me as far as relations are concerned) - the Head of the family Wm Wilson is a shoe manager/ maker; David is age 15, and apprenticing in the shoe making business. No real proof at this point that this is our David Wilkie tho. as no Johnston name after the David

Christian Paul, Widow of Robt Wilkie, Farm Servant, Burnbrae, Age 46, Died 5th January and was interred on 8th currt in the New Church Yard
Christian (Paul) Wilkie's death left all of her children parentless, and I believe none of them were married at the time of her death. Her youngest Child, David Johnston Wilkie would be approximately 8 years old. At this time, I have no idea where David went for care and loving - 8 years old seems young even in these times to be on your own.

Baptism:
It seems that Christian Paul's birth has occurred prior to the 'official' marriage date given in Parish records as Jan 31 1788 or 6 July 1788, thus explains why her birth not found on IGI or other sources, except the Old Parish Records and altho many other sources indicate this is probably our Christian Paul, I cannot state this as absolutely FactNotes:
