Mid Calder, Midlothian, Scotland
About John
Glasgow-3015 was merged into this older profile on 27 September 2026 as the leading identification of the Midlothian John Glasgow named with Helen Patoune in a 1638 Duddingston child record and with Issobell Porteous in later Edinburgh and Kirknewton child records. The 1616 Mid Calder baptism gives a compatible generation. The mother's two record sequences do not overlap, but no death or remarriage record proves a second union. The 1645 James child remains attached with unconfirmed parentage. The former unsupported William-2453 son link was already resolved in an earlier audit and was not restored.
