The only way that you can establish your relationship to these people is to
start with yourself and your family and work backwards until you (hopefully)
reach them. If you haven't done this before, take a look at the Beginners
Guide on Genuki http://www.genuki.org.uk/

I assume that these are the 2 children? (Data from the IGI, or International
Genealogical Index http://www1.familysearch.org/Search/searchigi.asp)

1. Duncan FORBES Gender: M Christening: 2 May 1851 Inverness, Inverness,
Scotland

2. Emily Mary Jane Gender: F Christening: 26 Apr 1853 Inverness,
Inverness, Scotland

Also from the IGI, I see that Louisa's name was Louisa Georgiana Warrand,
and she married Arthur on 28 Aug 1849.

Always remember that the IGI is but an index, you need to check the original
church entries. The easiest way to do that will be to treat yourself to a
couple of days at New Register House in Edinburgh where you'll be able to
see all the birth, marriage and death certificates you need as well.
