William Glasgow

Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, Scotland
About William
Substantive amendment. The Findmypast transcript is an exact match to William Glasgow (Glasgow-1061): the baptism date and Kilwinning locality agree, and both named parents match the attached profiles. Unlike the captured biography, the transcript supplies William's birth date, 25 June 1715, and records the family residence as Byres, Kilwinning. Those are new biographical facts, not merely another citation for facts already stated.
