Thanks for your reply, doddsie4. My assumption that Margaret Drummond was buried in the Necropolis is, therefore, incorrect.
On the complete page for Margaret's death the column with this word "Neceplous" is blank for all other entries except three: and those three have the words "Barrony Session" written in them. So does this suggest a residence or something else?
If (and this is again an assumption on my part) this Margaret was the wife of "my" Alexander Drummond, then he was noted in the 1788 Cart Tax Rolls as living in Bog Acre which was a bleachfield very close to the Necropolis.
In the 1789 Female Servant Tax Rolls there was a Margaret Drummond, servant to a Mrs. Barr in Division 4 College Street west side from Rottenrow, etc. Possibly the same Margaret.
