It would appear that my Isabel(la) Shand is not the daughter of William Shand and Margaret Young.  I have found a death certificate on SP (1867) with the names of Isabella, William and margaret but with Isabella a widow of John Mackay and listing a witness of Roderick Bremner who was married to Sarah Mackay daughter of John Mackay and Isabella Shand.  Back to the drawing board for me :(.

You may get some clues from witnesses' names on Peter and Isabel's children's christenings.

Two here http://charlesflett.co.uk/R_BirthsV1_p230.htm:

18 MAY 1806 PETER COPLAND in Buckie had by his wife ISABEL SHAND a Daughter baptized and named MARGARET. Witnesses William Copland and Margaret Shand. [Vol.1 p.221].

31 JULY 1808 PETER COPLAND in Knowhead had by his Wife ISABEL SHAND a Son baptized and named WILLIAM. Witnesses William Copland in Moss side and William Farquhar. [Vol.1 p.230a].

1 Shand, 5 Coplands, 3 Farquhars and 1 McGraw, tracking them down now in the hope of a breakthrough :)

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

There is one other connected thread to the Peter we are discussing now here www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=791527.0

Reading through it again...did you try to research the family of Peter Copland and Margaret Geddes further? With a William, Thomas and a Peter Copland showing as witnesses to christenings, they look good possibilities for possible family for your Peter you would think.
