Elizabeth Gold

2 May 1756 – after 1781

Renfrew, Renfrewshire, Scotland

Current position

The 2 May 1756 Renfrew baptism explicitly names Andrew Crauford and Margaret Maxwell as parents. The parental names are proved for that child, but the record has not been connected independently to the Elizabeth who married James Gold/Guil. Hold both WikiTree parent links.

Sources: Source findings
  • FamilySearch record VQWR-4VM: Elisabeth Crauford, baptised 2 May 1756 at Renfrew; parents Andrew Crauford and Margaret Maxwell. Image unavailable; digital folder 007908599, microfilm 1041326, batch C11575-4.
  • FamilySearch PID MQ63-DDN has no spouse or children and is flagged with possible duplicate Elizabeth Crawford profiles. It attaches Andrew KC7N-6HC and Margaret KZ6K-FV8; both parent PIDs also have multiple possible-duplicate warnings and no dated vital event.
  • Broad WikiTree searches returned 349 Andrew Crawford and 1,409 Margaret Maxwell matches. Narrow searches around 1728/1732 and Renfrew returned none, so no compatible existing parent profile was established.

Assessment: Parentage assessment

Hold: do not create or attach Andrew and Margaret until a marriage, child baptism, or other record connects the Renfrew child to Elizabeth's Gold/Guil family and the FamilySearch duplicate cluster is resolved.

This is nevertheless a newly identified parent set for the 1756 record child; it is included in the ten-set root register with its endpoint-continuity hold stated explicitly, not presented as a live attachment recommendation.
