FamilySearch baptism VQ4M-NZY: Jean Castles, christened 24 June 1722 at Lesmahagow, Lanarkshire; parents William Castles and Agnes Weir. The displayed birth value 0006 is corrupt and must not be used.
The baptism is attached to FamilySearch PID MFQJ-K2S.
Son James's baptism XTLV-TQJ names James Gold and Jean Castles at Douglas in 1755. Its Jean occurrence is attached to a different FamilySearch PID, K81C-1T2, so that FamilySearch duplicate-person issue is unresolved.
Castles-359 states the same 1722 baptism, parents, spouse and 1741 marriage, but has no WikiTree parents attached.

Assessment: WikiTree duplicate audit

William Castles (Castles-381), born about 1700 at Kilsyth and married Janet Din there in 1733, is not established as Jean's father. No source connects him to Agnes Weir or Lesmahagow.
William Cassels (Cassels-181), born in 1716, is chronologically impossible as the father of the 1722 child. Searches of Castles, Cassels and Castle found no compatible William.
Agnes Weir (Weir-3392), born 1721 and married Andrew Fairservice, is too young and is a different woman.
Agnes Weir (Weir-1915) is attached to Archbald Gallaway; Weir-1136, Weir-1138, and Weir-4625 have incompatible localities, dates, or family contexts. None is a proved match.
