Bob

If you go to familysearch on the link above, and click on the International Genealogical Index search screen. You can do what is referred to as a 'parent search'. Simply, put in parents' full names on the r/h side and then Great Britain/Scotland/Banff and you will see a list of children (siblings to George) for Peter and Isabel. There is also a marriage showing for parents in 1790 in Banff.
