A couple of records relating to my Burton family:
St Cuthbert's Edinburgh 18 Feb 1714
James Burton Freeman Tayler in portsburgh & Janet Hog a s[on] n[amed] Joseph born 9th inst Witt: Jo: Burton Tenent in Holburn William Swinton Freeman Tayler in Portsburgh
Alexander Fowler, baker in NNK p married Agnes Burton, daughter of late James B, tenant in Holburn, in Canongate parish, Edinburgh, 7 Nov 1736.
This is the placename from Joseph's baptism and it looks like Holburn to me. But the only Holburns I can find on Scotland's Places etc are nowhere near Edinburgh. Am I misreading it? Or can anyone find out where Holburn was in / near Edinburgh, please?
