CARMICHAEL, Elspet ^{1 2 3}

   Another name for Elspet was CARMICHAEL, Elizabeth.⁴

  General Notes:

"Elspeth (sometimes referred to as Elizabeth) had intended to become a Carmelite nun but was prevented from fulfilling this ambition due to an accident which left her an invalid and confined to a wheelchair. (Family tradition rather dramatically has it that she was crushed by a cow). However, on her death, permission was given for Elspeth to be buried in the habit of the Carmelites, despite having never officially entered the order."
