How did you determine that George Reid born 1838 in Peterhead have parents James Reid and Elizabeth Cooper?  I notice FamilySearch IGI gives mother as Elizabeth Cooper whereas the orginal record, Peterhead OPR is as follows:

1838
Nov. 15th James Reid, labourer in Peterhead, had a son baptised, named George, before James Hutchison and George Gall.
