Rogers in his “The Book of Robert Burns”, p. 283, writes “Katherine, the eldest married Robert Stark, architect, with issue a daughter, Katherine, who died unmarried.
However only this marriage, to a William Stark but with George Thomson for her father, can be found on Family Search:
Name William Stark
Spouse's Name Katharine Thomson
Event Date 21 Nov 1805
Event Place Saint Cuthberts,Edinburgh,Midlothian,Scotland
Spouse's Father's Name George Thomson
Curiously there was another ceremony with the same names in Glasgow three days later:
Name William Stark
Spouse's Name Cathrine Thomson
Event Date 24 Nov 1805
Event Place Glasgow,Lanark,Scotland
Spouse's Father's Name George Thomson
But there was a daughter Catharine, so I’m going to enter this marriage.

There is a catherine Thomson Stark who died in 1897 but with 2 sons and said to be 75, so this cannot be her. And one born in 1808 but whose other surname was Duncan.
