Beverly, I believe that the 1841 census is Elliot with his uncle John, mother Isabella, these siblings being the children of Robert Fairbairn and Margaret Elliot.

John went on to marry Catherine Millar. Isabella went on to marry William Bookless and dying in 1882 in Roxburghshire, Scotland http://fairbairn.lornahen.com/p15552.htm
