Notes:

Question on age at death given as 91 years 9 months. If the age is correct, the best fit is an Elspet Edward born and baptised 2 Dec 1771 in Moray, northern Scotland. However, she would have need to have been born Oct 1771 for her to be 91 years 9 months at her 1862 death.
If we assume that her recorded age at death is a couple of years out, then best fit is a 16 Oct 1773 birth at Durris, Kincardine
