Anyone with connections to a Blair Campbell born in Glasgow in 1829?

Parents were James and Cathrine Craig Campbell married 2 Dec, 1805 in Glasgow. James born about 1780 and Cathrine about 1784, both in Glasgow.

Other siblings to Blair:

James Graham...1806 Glasgow
Jean 1808 Glasgow
Agnes 1809 Stirling
Eliszbeth Love 1812 Glasgow
John Craig 1813 Glasgow
Alexander 1815 Glasgow
David 1817 Glasgow
Catherine Cameron 1820 Glasgow
Charles Fleming 1825 Glasgow
and then Blair 1829 Glasgow

A Blair Campbell was a witness to my Elizabeth Campbell and Thomas Galloway's last son's birth in 1824 in Glasgow for Robert Galloway.

I am trying to figure how Blair fits in..maybe a cousin?

I am still trying to find out birth date and parents names for Elizabeth, who says she was born in 1791 in Uphall, Linlithgow. Closest I have come is to an Isabell born in 1791 to a Alexander and Marion Hutton of Linlithgow. Out of their 7 children names, 4 were used with my Elizabeth and Thomas Galloway for some of their children.

Think I have found Blair's father's parents and his siblings.

James Campbell born about 1758 Glasgow married Agnes Graham 17 Oct, 1766 Glasgow (her father a David?)

Children:
Christian 1768
Agnes 1769
Christian 1771
Jean 1773
Mary 1775
Buchanan and Rachael twins born 24 April, 1777
James 1779
John 1781
Helen 1782
Archibald 1784
Alexander 1786
David 1788
James (another one?) 1790

Still have no clue how they are related if at all to my Elizabeth Campbell

Might just be that James or Blair or Blair's grandfather, John Craig, were bakers and knew Elizabeth's husband, Thomas Galloway, who was a baker.
Have found a message board where a Alexander Campbell was an apprentice to a John Craig a baker in Glagow.
