Is that the Sir John Sinclair who was involved in the farming reforms and the Statistical Accounts of Scotland?
Longformacus is in Berwickshire, where the Trotter name is often found.
Have you noticed the 1841 census entry for Jane Trotter aged 60 in Dunnet, Caithness? It says she was B Caithness. She's living with Elizabeth Trotter, 25.
In the 1861, Jane's living alone with age given as 85, birthplace Edinburgh. it's the same address.
I can't find her in the 1851.
It would be woth checking Jane's death cert, methinks. Since she was alone in 1841, John presumably dies before death certs started, but he might have a gravestone. Jane Sinclair Trotter (mother's surname Sage) d. 1867, age 90, at Dunnet, Caithness. If you buy the downloaded cert, you should get her parents.

And could this be Elizabeth Sarah in the 1881 census of Paddington (RG11/6, folio 57, page 8):
33 St Mary's Terrace
John GOODWIN Head Mar 42 Lodging House Keeper Leicestershire ?
Sarah do Wife Mar 51 do Mowbray Milton (probably should be Melton Mowbray)
Thomas do Son Un 20 Hair Dresser Middlesex Pimlico
Elizabeth do Daur 12 Scholar do do
Florence do Daur 10 do do do
1871 census of St George Hanover Square shows John GOODWIN as a Butler born in Halstead, Leicestershire.

The "do" = ditto, the standard way of avoiding the need to repeat the surname on every line.
