So this is my transcription of the 1901:

1901 census Crossmichael Village
Jane Stewart Head W 59(? age not clear) Formerly Dom Serv. Kirkcudbrightsh Crossmichael
Elizabeth Black Boarder 15 Scholar Do Do
David Do Do 14 Scholar Do Anwoth

and this is the first part of that 1881 census with Mary Black as a dairymaid:
Clachan, Girthon
William McCourty Head Marr 61 Farmer 600 acres all arable employing 1 man 1 boy 3 women Kirkcudbrightsh Anwoth
Agnes do Wife Mar 42 Farmer's Wife Do Do
Cathrine Do Daur 15 Scholar Do Girthon
Robert Do Son 14 Do Do Do.

Jane Stewart and Jane Kinstrey might not be the same person. Maybe the children were boarded out with the parish (but which parish?) paying for them?
