Yup.  "Meg Davy is recorded in Aberdeen, 1408." and "Meg Bogtoun in 
Prestonpans was accused of witchcraft, 1590."

My R&W s.n. Sterling says to see Starling.  S.n. Stirling does not 
have a spelling of Sterling.   Do you want the Stirling info or the 
Starling info?

Black doesn't give a spelling of Sterling in his info on s.n. Stirling.

Correct. 3rd edition needs no photocopies.
