OPR index comparison, 10 September 2026

The supplied 30/11/1678 Kilwinning index date differs from the profile’s structured birth date 1678-12-01. The original register is needed to determine whether these describe separate birth and baptism dates or a transcription discrepancy.

What the records show

Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 88 — 10 September 2026

Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. ROBERT GLASGOW; indexed date 30/11/1678; Kilwinning; parish 599, reference 10 / 30. Parents/other exactly as indexed: HEW GLASGOW/. Indexed gender: M.

Assessment: The supplied 30/11/1678 Kilwinning index date differs from the profile’s structured birth date 1678-12-01. The original register is needed to determine whether these describe separate birth and baptism dates or a transcription discrepancy.

Original image not inspected for this batch. The combined collection’s date does not automatically establish a birthday. Names alone do not uniquely identify attached parents or connect a child with a later adult. An omitted parent or indexed gender U remains unspecified in this source.

Next action: Review the complete proposed profile update; reconcile the dates in the original register before altering structured fields.

For WikiTree editors

Suggested update to the WikiTree profile

This study has prepared revised text for the public WikiTree profile. WikiTree editors can compare it with the current profile and copy it; the research account above is the study's own.

Pending WikiTree update: add the 30/11/1678 Kilwinning index date and explain its difference from the existing birth details.

Compared with Glasgow-1068, captured 2026-09-27T03:22:58+00:00 · 2026-09-18. This amendment requires manual action in WikiTree; the comparison shows the saved biography and prepared replacement. Relationship, confidence and vital-field changes must be applied separately.
