Case Notes
Elspeth Baird was mentioned in documents pertaining to Margaret Burges. I think Baird is also a woman referred to as 'the wyfe of Totmuir'. Need to check where Totmuir is? Possibly the same as 'Elizabeth the spae wife' (c/la/3126) mentioned by Margaret Clerk from N. Leith in 1643 (c/egd/184).
