Default GOWANS family Edinburgh

Hi there,
I'm looking for information about my gggg grandfather Daniel Gowans, b. 1804 Edinburgh and his family. Daniel married Elimus (?) Mason. As far as I know, Daniel's father was Neilson Gowans and his mother was Ann Schaw (daughter of Daniel Schaw). Daniel Gowans was a printers compositor and Neilson was a bookbinder. Daniel Schaw was a printer, so there are definitely book trade connections. I'd like to know more about Neilson also but can't find his birth records. A witness to his marriage is Abraham Gowans so that may be his father but I can't find any records of an Abraham Gowans having children. Would love to hear from anyone who has any connections
