Nice to see that given the "reputed father" for Isabella being a Peter SINTON that the correct Peter may have been identified.
A (small) ancestry DNA match has eventuated between a descendant of Isabella's, and Lorna, a descendant of Peter's cousin Peter. Details of the match, and confirmation with other SINTON DNA kits yet to be made as the data from ancestry not yet available on GEDmatch.com
It may yet turn out to be a match from another ancestral line - such are the "joys" of testing with ancestry dna without uploading to GEDmatch.com - insufficient information.³
