Samatha you are not doing anything wrong. The name is so unusual that none of the vicars can spell it. I'm having to look up almost every christening one by one instead of being able to do them in one hit.

Now what's your geography like? Ann was born in Clayhin, Argyle & I've no idea where this is!

Perhaps more importantly, as Ann was born in Argyl as was Jane McAllister the chances of the wedding taking place there is increased.

When i done Elenor it came up with Helen so i take it that Helen was her real name

lol the result of being bitten by the treeing bug a couple of years ago!

I found the christening on the IGI, there's a thread about it at the top of the Tips board. I will leave the rest of James' siblings for you to find but there's no hurry.

For Helen I would suggest that you go for her parent's marriage before trying to track her on the census.
Hopefully she will have been born in the same county as they married.

Does Jane's maiden name look like McAllister? This looks very much like his christening.
