Hi Cos
I had a go at the Duthies - searching the IGI for Alexia ( or similar ) Duthie gives only 6 results, 4 of whom are in too late a time frame, and the other 2 are the same person :
Alexandrina Davidson Duthie. I think she might be your Alexia :
I actually started with the 1851 Census from Ancestry :
At
Anne Street
Name Parent or spouse names Estimated birth year Birthplace Relation Civil parish County
Mary Combe abt 1827 Fetteresso, Kincardine Servant Fetteresso Kincardineshire House Servant
Alexandrine Davidson abt 1785 Fetteresso, Kincardine Visitor Fetteresso Kincardineshire Interesr Of Money
Catherine Duthie abt 1773 Fetteresso, Kincardine Sister Fetteresso Kincardineshire Interesr Of Money
Susan Duthie abt 1767 Fetteresso, Kincardine Head Fetteresso Kincardineshire Propretrice Of House & Mary
Then found on the IGI ,
Batch C112584 , Born to William Duthie and Margaret Duthie*
1.
ALEXANDRINA DAVIDSON DUTHIE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 25 JUN 1783 Fetteresso, Kincardine, Scotland
2. JOHN DUTHIE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 16 OCT 1778 Fetteresso, Kincardine, Scotland

Gender: Female Christening: 18 MAY 1772 Dunnottar, Kincardine, Scotland
WILLIAM DUTHIE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 11 JUN 1769 Dunnottar, Kincardine, Scotland
There are other births with father WIlliam Duthie in Batch C112554
Alxandrina's marriage on the IGI :
ALEXANDRINA DAVIDSON DUTHIE - International Genealogical Index
Spouse: ROBERT DAVIDSON Family
Marriage: 29 MAR 1813 Nigg, Kincardine, Scotland M112664
* Not found marriage of a William Duthie to Margaret Duthie, did find one to a Margaret Davidson in 1762 ?
Moving on to the 1861 census :
Alexandrina Davidson aged 76,occupation fundholder born Fettersso, is at 20 Anne Street, Stonehaven, Fetteresso with a housemaid and a cook.
No sign of Catherine and Susan
There is another interesting entry on the page , which will I mention at
the bottom :
Here's the 1841 Census:
At Ann Street

Jessie is an F.S. The others are IND(ependant means )
The ages in the 1841 census were rounded down - in this case more than they ought to have been I think.
All 4 of these Duthies may have left wills ;
From ScotlandsPeople :
Duthie William 29/07/1846 Esquire,

I think they were comfortably off -

GENTRY !
So every likelihood of tombstones for this family - there are some on the aforementioned website, which is full of good stuff.
Perhaps a trawl through any published MI's for the area may yield some clues. Perhaps the Aberdeen & North-East Scotland Family History Society
http://www.anesfhs.org.uk/ may be able to help ?
No proof yet that these are you Duthies - but given the lack of Alexia Duthies and that this one has the correct brothers and sisters , I feel quite hopeful.
I wonder who Alexandrina left her money to. I didn't find any children -
and her sisters don't appear to have married . Up to you whether you decide to view the will.
FInally , going back to the 1861 census at Ann Street :
On the qame page , but not same household is an
ALEXANDER DONALD , pensioner born about 1796 Durris, Kincardine .
plus family
This may be his christening :
