Profile manager action required. Replace unsupported birth and origin claims with the sourced 1611 Edinburgh mother-child account; retain weak populated fields and parent links as uncertain. Keep same-name identities unresolved.
Profile manager action required (Weir-2957). Retain the corrections to the placeless 1823 death and misidentified 1830 household and the independent McKeown Bible/Drimbolg evidence; add John’s collateral role in the Larne–Inishrush reconstruction and qualify the DNA evidence.

How to read the evidence
DocumentedA cited record states this directly, and the research has checked that the record belongs to this person.
Strongly supportedSeveral independent, consistent records point to this, but no single record states it outright.
ProbableThe evidence favours this over the alternatives, but it is not proved and could still change.
PossibleConsistent with the evidence so far. A lead to test, not a conclusion.
Unassessed tree linkCopied from the family tree with no certainty mark. It has not been assessed against records.
Profile leadReported on a tree profile; inspect its sources before relying on it.
EstimatedA date or place inferred from other evidence, such as an age at death or a later census.
People are grouped by household, place or related records to help investigate possible family connections. Being in the same group does not prove that people were related.
