“Of some curiosity, my researcher, I assume with the aim of total coverage, sent me a
copy of
a bond filed in court referring to Elizabeth Calder, widow of John of Lancaster, filed in
1852
regarding monies owed to John Earl of Elgin. Doesn’t appear to be any real information in
the document, however”.
