You're welcome, William.

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who responded to my question. It is clear from your responses that Mary Hamilton Young and Isobel Young were not sisters although in marrying the Anderson brothers they became sisters in law. Potty's information clearly shows that both women had different parents and that answers my basic question. Alviegal's note revealed an earlier generation of MHYoung's family - information which I didn't have. Also to Jacquiline - thank you for listing MHYoung's siblings(again, information I did not have). As you can see, I am a raw beginner in chasing up my forbears but really appreciate the assistance you have all given me.
Bye for now - Bill Borton (Mornington, Vic, Aust)

Where did the November marriage take place?

Have you tried looking for a baptism for Isabella?

How did you identify Mary's parents?

Where were the girls born?

Mary Hamilton Young married Thomas Anderson on 30 Oct 1827 at Dunnottar House(Kincardineshire) and Isabel(la) Young married older brother Robert Anderson on 30 Nov 1827. Mary Young's parents were James Young & Bertha Inverarity. Were Mary & Isabella sisters ? Can anyone help ? Bill Borton
