William Glasgow
before 16 March 1536
About William
William is directly documented in Glasgow burgh with wife Esbell Brade and
son John Glasgow in 1534. A newly recovered boundary in protocol 1233 calls
him q. Wylzem Glasgw on 16 March 1535/36, proving that he had died by then.
John was later served heir of his father William in 1564. These records do not
prove William's own birth, death place or parents.

What the research found
Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
The live profile now has no birth date or place and records death before 16 March 1535/36, place unknown. Those structured values were rechecked on 27 September 2026. An older generated catalogue snapshot still shows an estimated 1516 birth and a High Street death place, neither of which matches the live profile or the inspected evidence. The 1516 estimate is also chronologically impossible beside his adult son John's circa-1510 working birth. The direct evidence proves only that William and Esbell were spouses by 31 December 1534; it does not supply an earlier marriage date or a vital-event location.
What the records show
Source findingsCombined succession review — 28 September 2026The older John-to-William succession of the same Rankin–Young property is the strongest earlier-generation lead.
The older John-to-William succession of the same Rankin–Young property is the strongest earlier-generation lead. Protocol 809, 16 November 1564, expressly describes Eufame Craig's conjunct fee, franktenement and liferent in the back tenement, but leaves her deceased Glasgow husband's forename blank. Its property boundaries connect it to the same family block. These are existing record details, reconsidered alongside the 1527, 1528/29, 1542 and 1564 sequence; they are not a newly discovered parent statement. The sequence supports succession and probable kinship, while the older John's profile identity, Eufame's husband and the exact degree remain unresolved. A father inference does not require a literal son clause, but must resolve those identity and degree questions. No birth estimate is treated as an exact age or used alone to exclude fatherhood.
The original 1527–1529 transfer behind the sequence remains the priority, but its precise archival item has not been identified. NP1/5 and B/10/1/3 remain separately listed targets for checking the later title reconstruction; they are not verified repositories of that missing early transfer. No publicly accessible original transfer image was located in this batch.
| Source | Finding | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Registrum Secreti Sigilli, entry 3412, 2 July 1526 | A remission for the killing of James Somervile includes Willelmi Glasgw among a long list headed by James Sandelandis of Calder and Robert Bruce of Auchinbowy. |
Corrects the profile's 3433 citation. The entry supplies no residence, trade or kinship, so identity with the later Glasgow burgess is plausible rather than certain. |
| National Records of Scotland, GD119/193, same remission | The official catalogue names William Glasgow and Alexander Kano consecutively among James Sandilands of Calder's group. Elizabeth Glasgow was later widow of Alexander Kaine and occupier of Easter Corswood in the Calder barony. | Strong network evidence for Elizabeth-3915 as William's daughter or close kinswoman, but the exact degree and Kano/Kaine identity remain unstated. |
| Robert Renwick, ed., Abstracts of Protocols of the Town Clerks of Glasgow, vol. 4, protocol 1058, 28 February 1530/31 | William Glasgow witnessed John Allason's sasine. | Adult occurrence in Glasgow; the entry gives no identifying relationship. |
| Same volume, protocol 1196, 31 December 1534 | William, with consent of Esbell Brade, resigned a Glasgow back tenement to their son John Glasgow and John's wife Janet Spreull, reserving the profit during the grantors' lives. | Direct spouse, parent-child and property evidence. It proves William and Esbell alive and married on this date. |
| Liber Collegii Nostre Domine, 2 May 1527, pp. 85–86 | An older John Glasgow's west-side Cross-to-South-Port tenement lay between John Rankin south and James Young north. | Exact parcel later held by William and inherited by William's son; relationship to the older John is not stated. |
| Same volume, 20 February 1528/29, pp. 90–91 | Malcolm Henryson alias Makandoy entered as heir of his late brother David and sold the adjoining tenement/gardens to James Houston; its fore boundaries were Andrew Craig south and Willelmi Glasgu north. |
Places William on the target northern parcel about 21.5 months after the 1527 John entry; the contents explicitly read 20 Februarii 1528-9. |
| Abstracts of Protocols, vol. 4, protocol 1201, 17 February 1534/35 | John Rankin's adjoining tenement lay south of William Glasgow and north of Andrew Craig. | Places living William on the older John's exact parcel by the southern boundary. |
| Same volume, protocol 1233, 16 March 1535/36, fol. 87 | James Young's place lay between q. Wylzem Glasgw south and Robert Cochran north. |
Places the late William on the exact parcel by the northern boundary and proves death by this date. |
| Liber Collegii, St Andrew prebend, p. 36; confirmed 3 June 1542, transumed 8 January 1548/49 | quatuor solidi was due from the tenement of late William Glasgow between late John Crownar north and John Rankin south. |
Directly identifies William's 1534 Crownar–Rankin tenement and strongly continues the 1527 four-shilling institutional burden. |
| Abstracts of Protocols, vol. 3, protocol 805, 28 October 1564 | John Glasgow received sasine as heir of William Glasgow, explicitly his father. | Independent direct proof of John-1093's father and that William was dead by this date. |
| Same volume, protocol 810, 16 November 1564 | John sold that inherited fore tenement; Archibald Herbisoune, proved husband of Isobella Glasgow, witnessed the sale. | Strong circumstantial evidence that Isobella was John's sister and therefore William and Esbell's daughter. Witness status alone prevents a proved grade. |
| Current profile's 1543 boundary/death claim | Protocol 1233 already calls William deceased in March 1535/36. | Remove the incompatible 1543 death; no death place is established. |
Source findings — negative searches for William and the older John, 30–31 August 2026
The following searches found nothing new. They are index- or OCR-level negatives, not manuscript-level ones:
- The published index to Glasgow Commissariot testaments, 1547–1800: no testament for William, Esbell Brade, the older John or Eufame Craig, no Glasgow-surname testament close to 1547–70, and no Crownar entry. William died before the series begins.
- The NRS online catalogue, exact
William Glasgowand the formsGlasgw,GlasguandGlesgw, 1500–1540: the only personal hit is GD119/193, the 2 July 1526 Sandilands/Calder remission. - Registrum Magni Sigilli, vol. III (1513–1546) and Exchequer Rolls, vols. XV–XVI (1523–1536), OCR and index: no unambiguous William or John bearing Glasgow as a surname; the hits are the city, diocese or offices.
- Cuthbert Simon's published protocols, 1499–1513: no unambiguous personal Glasgow bearer.
Outstanding on-site sources: NRS NP1/5 (Michael Fleming, 1530–37), GCA B/10/1/3 (Heygate, 1562–76) and the Acts of the Lords of Council civil-process manuscripts.

Identity and family
Descendant relationship audit — 31 August 2026A fresh live capture followed every currently attached descendant through five generations: 99 profiles including William , of which 38 have a pre-1600 or unknown birth value.
A fresh live capture followed every currently attached descendant through five generations: 99 profiles including William, of which 38 have a pre-1600 or unknown birth value. The six attached first-generation descendants were each checked against their maintained findings and underlying records:
| Profile | Parentage result |
|---|---|
| John | Directly proved son of William and Esbell by protocol 1196; protocol 805 independently calls William his father. |
| Robert | Probable on the repeated fisher, property and witness network; no kin formula. Retain uncertain. |
| Archibald | Probable from the Bridgegait title succession and Robert's witness role; the missing transfer prevents an upgrade. |
| James elder of Corsankell | Chronologically possible only; no burgh-to-Corsankell parent bridge. Retain uncertain. |
| Elizabeth | Possible close kinswoman through the Sandilands/Kaine cluster; exact degree unresolved. Retain uncertain. |
| Isobella | Probable daughter from the repeated Herbisoune–Glasgow craft/property cluster; no express kin term. Retain uncertain. |
The wider audit found one actionable status omission on a pre-1600 descendant. George Glasgow, born about 1569, already has William Glasgow-3522 as a confident father, but the status of attached mother Margaret Herbesoun was unset until 27 September 2026. Protocol 2903 calls George heir of the deceased William, his father; protocol 2916 calls Margaret his mother and liferenter. These companion acts directly establish both parents and securely identify the same minor heir and property. Margaret's relationship is now confident on the live profile, verified against the API. This meets the project threshold of a pre-1600 descendant explicitly confident to both parents without upgrading any circumstantial edge.
John Glasgow (Glasgow-1095) remains a possible father, not a proved one. Of William's attached children, only John-1093 is named as his son in the inspected protocols. Isobella-3916 is now a probable daughter on strong circumstantial evidence: her proved husband Archibald Herbisoune witnessed John dispose of the exact parcel John had just inherited as William's heir, and she repeats Esbell/Isobel's forename. The record does not state kinship, so both parent edges remain uncertain. Elizabeth-3915 is a separate possible daughter or close female kinswoman: her husband Alexander Kaine is probably the Alexander Kano listed immediately after William in the 1526 Sandilands remission, and she later occupied a Sandilands Calder holding.
The maintained account of William's probable father is the canonical John Glasgow of Saltmarket free-space biography, estimated born about 1480 and dead by 21 October 1553. Use that page as the research destination rather than the stale, unsourced pre-1500 profile Glasgow-1095, which is outside the requesting manager's control.
The principal new clue is property continuity. On 2 May 1527 a tenement of an older John Glasgow lay on the west side of the Cross-to-South-Port street between John Rankin south and James Young north and owed a four-shilling annual to James Houston's foundation. A newly recovered instrument, source-dated 20 February 1528/29 (explicitly dual-dated in the edition's contents), already places William Glasgow north of the Henryson/Houston parcel, with Andrew Craig south. That parcel is later Rankin's. Houston's St Andrew prebend rental, confirmed in 1542 and transumed in 1548/49, then charges the same four-shilling annual upon the tenement of the late William Glasgow between the late John Crownar north and John Rankin south. William's son John inherited the fore tenement in 1564, still between late John Rankin and Robert Young. This is strong same-title succession within at most about twenty-two months, but it does not state that the older John was William's father.
Continued title reconstruction strongly identifies the 1534 back tenement as the rear component of this block. In 1563 William's son John and Jonet Spreull conveyed that rear fee to their own son John, bounded by Robert Young, late John Rankin and St Mary's land. In 1564 Eufame Craig, widow of an unnamed Glasgow, sold her outstanding liferent in it to John elder. The leading reconstruction is that Eufame was the older John's widow and that her reserved liferent survived the passage of the fee to William. The same-day Craig transactions and Craig witnesses fit a coordinated family settlement. Making her William's widow is less likely because it requires Esbell's death and a remarriage within about fourteen months. Original-book targets are NRS NP1/5 and Glasgow City Archives B/10/1/3.
Father relationship assessment — 28 September 2026
This is a review of existing evidence, not a newly discovered record. Attached father: John Glasgow. Assessment: uncertain.
Reason: The same-property succession supports the older John as a probable father, but the inspected title records do not establish that relationship; the biography already describes it as an inference.

Source findings — negative father searches, 30 September 2026
A bounded search on 30 September 2026 found no new father clause for William or for the people linked to him: Robert (Glasgow-1096), Archibald (Glasgow-1097) and Isobella (Glasgow-3916), his probable family, and Elizabeth (Glasgow-3915), whose records do not show whether she was his daughter, sister or niece.

Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.
Recommended WikiTree changes
- Replace the 1526 citation number
3433with 3412 and explain that this William is not individually identified as the later burgess. - Add protocol 1196 as direct proof of wife Brade-232 and son John-1093.
- Change marriage to before 31 December 1534, Glasgow, Lanarkshire,
uncertain; remove the unsupported
before 1514claim. - Change death to between 17 February 1534/35 and 16 March 1535/36, place unknown. Remove the incompatible 1543 date and death location.
- Change birth to before 1526, place unknown, uncertain, or leave it blank. Do not present 1500 or Stirlingshire as recorded facts.
- Keep John-1093 as a confirmed son. Treat Isobella-3916 as probable but retain both parent edges as uncertain. Mark the other attached children James-1168, Robert-1096, Archibald-1097 uncertain unless each profile supplies independent parent evidence.
- Keep Glasgow-1095 as an uncertain father and state that no inspected record names William's parents. Add the narrowed 2 May 1527–20 February 1528/29 search interval for the missing transmission. Present Eufame as the likely wife of the older John, clearly labelled as the leading property-based reconstruction rather than a recorded marriage.
Do not infer
- Birth or death at the site of the Glasgow tenement.
- That every early-sixteenth-century William Glasgow occurrence is this man.
- That protocol 1196 proves any child other than John.
- That succession to the older John's exact tenement proves a father-son relationship without the missing transmission instrument.

Current conclusion
William is directly documented in Glasgow burgh with wife **Esbell Brade** and son **John Glasgow** in 1534. A newly recovered boundary in protocol 1233 calls him `q. Wylzem Glasgw` on **16 March 1535/36**, proving that he had died by then. John was later served heir of his father William in 1564. These records do not prove William's own birth, death place or parents. The live profile now has **no birth date or place** and records death **before 16 March 1535/36, place unknown**. Those structured values were rechecked on 27 September 2026. An older generated catalogue snapshot still shows an estimated 1516 birth and a High Street death place, neither of which matches the live profile or the inspected evidence. The 1516 estimate is also chronologically impossible beside his adult son John's circa-1510 working birth. The direct evidence proves only that William and Esbell were spouses by 31 December 1534; it does not supply an earlier marriage date or a vital-event location.
Descendant relationship audit — 31 August 2026
A fresh live capture followed every currently attached descendant through five generations: **99 profiles including William**, of which 38 have a pre-1600 or unknown birth value. The six attached first-generation descendants were each checked against their maintained findings and underlying records: | Profile | Parentage result | | --- | --- | | [[Glasgow-1093|John]] | Directly proved son of William and Esbell by protocol 1196; protocol 805 independently calls William his father. | | [[Glasgow-1096|Robert]] | Probable on the repeated fisher, property and witness network; no kin formula. Retain uncertain. | | [[Glasgow-1097|Archibald]] | Probable from the Bridgegait title succession and Robert's witness role; the missing transfer prevents an upgrade. | | [[Glasgow-1168|James elder of Corsankell]] | Chronologically possible only; no burgh-to-Corsankell parent bridge. Retain uncertain. | | [[Glasgow-3915|Elizabeth]] | Possible close kinswoman through the Sandilands/Kaine cluster; exact degree unresolved. Retain uncertain. | | [[Glasgow-3916|Isobella]] | Probable daughter from the repeated Herbisoune–Glasgow craft/property cluster; no express kin term. Retain uncertain. | The wider audit found one actionable status omission on a pre-1600 descendant. [[Glasgow-1099|George Glasgow]], born about 1569, already has William [[Glasgow-3522]] as a confident father, but the status of attached mother [[Herbison-439|Margaret Herbesoun]] was unset until 27 September 2026. Protocol 2903 calls George heir of the deceased William, his father; protocol 2916 calls Margaret his mother and liferenter. These companion acts directly establish both parents and securely identify the same minor heir and property. Margaret's relationship is now **confident** on the live profile, verified against the API. This meets the project threshold of a pre-1600 descendant explicitly confident to both parents without upgrading any circumstantial edge. [John Glasgow (Glasgow-1095)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1095) remains a possible father, not a proved one. Of William's attached children, only [John-1093](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1093) is named as his son in the inspected protocols. [Isobella-3916](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3916) is now a **probable daughter on strong circumstantial evidence**: her proved husband Archibald Herbisoune witnessed John dispose of the exact parcel John had just inherited as William's heir, and she repeats Esbell/Isobel's forename. The record does not state kinship, so both parent edges remain uncertain. [Elizabeth-3915](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3915) is a separate possible daughter or close female kinswoman: her husband Alexander Kaine is probably the Alexander Kano listed immediately after William in the 1526 Sandilands remission, and she later occupied a Sandilands Calder holding. The maintained account of William's probable father is the canonical [John Glasgow of Saltmarket free-space biography](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:John_de_Glasgow_alias_Smith_/_John_Glasgow_of_Saltmarket%27), estimated born about 1480 and dead by 21 October 1553. Use that page as the research destination rather than the stale, unsourced pre-1500 profile Glasgow-1095, which is outside the requesting manager's control. The principal new clue is property continuity. On 2 May 1527 a tenement of an older John Glasgow lay on the west side of the Cross-to-South-Port street between John Rankin south and James Young north and owed a four-shilling annual to James Houston's foundation. A newly recovered instrument, source-dated 20 February 1528/29 (explicitly dual-dated in the edition's contents), already places William Glasgow north of the Henryson/Houston parcel, with Andrew Craig south. That parcel is later Rankin's. Houston's St Andrew prebend rental, confirmed in 1542 and transumed in 1548/49, then charges the same four-shilling annual upon the tenement of the late William Glasgow between the late John Crownar north and John Rankin south. William's son John inherited the fore tenement in 1564, still between late John Rankin and Robert Young. This is strong same-title succession within at most about twenty-two months, but it does not state that the older John was William's father. Continued title reconstruction strongly identifies the 1534 back tenement as the rear component of this block. In 1563 William's son John and Jonet Spreull conveyed that rear fee to their own son John, bounded by Robert Young, late John Rankin and St Mary's land. In 1564 Eufame Craig, widow of an unnamed Glasgow, sold her outstanding liferent in it to John elder. The leading reconstruction is that Eufame was the older John's widow and that her reserved liferent survived the passage of the fee to William.

Source findings
### Combined succession review — 28 September 2026 The older John-to-William succession of the same Rankin–Young property is the strongest earlier-generation lead. Protocol 809, 16 November 1564, expressly describes Eufame Craig's **conjunct fee, franktenement and liferent** in the back tenement, but leaves her deceased Glasgow husband's forename blank. Its property boundaries connect it to the same family block. These are existing record details, reconsidered alongside the 1527, 1528/29, 1542 and 1564 sequence; they are not a newly discovered parent statement. The sequence supports succession and probable kinship, while the older John's profile identity, Eufame's husband and the exact degree remain unresolved. A father inference does not require a literal son clause, but must resolve those identity and degree questions. No birth estimate is treated as an exact age or used alone to exclude fatherhood. The original 1527–1529 transfer behind the sequence remains the priority, but its precise archival item has not been identified. NP1/5 and B/10/1/3 remain separately listed targets for checking the later title reconstruction; they are not verified repositories of that missing early transfer.

Recommended WikiTree changes
1. Replace the 1526 citation number `3433` with **3412** and explain that this William is not individually identified as the later burgess. 2. Add protocol 1196 as direct proof of wife [Brade-232](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brade-232) and son John-1093. 3. Change marriage to **before 31 December 1534, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, uncertain**; remove the unsupported `before 1514` claim. 4. Change death to **between 17 February 1534/35 and 16 March 1535/36, place unknown**. Remove the incompatible 1543 date and death location. 5. Change birth to **before 1526, place unknown, uncertain**, or leave it blank. Do not present 1500 or Stirlingshire as recorded facts. 6. Keep John-1093 as a confirmed son. Treat Isobella-3916 as probable but retain both parent edges as uncertain. Mark the other attached children [James-1168](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1168), [Robert-1096](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1096), [Archibald-1097](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1097) uncertain unless each profile supplies independent parent evidence. 7. Keep Glasgow-1095 as an uncertain father and state that no inspected record names William's parents. Add the narrowed 2 May 1527–20 February 1528/29 search interval for the missing transmission. Present Eufame as the likely wife of the older John, clearly labelled as the leading property-based reconstruction rather than a recorded marriage.
Do not infer
- Birth or death at the site of the Glasgow tenement. - That every early-sixteenth-century William Glasgow occurrence is this man. - That protocol 1196 proves any child other than John. - That succession to the older John's exact tenement proves a father-son relationship without the missing transmission instrument.
Father relationship assessment — 28 September 2026
This is a review of existing evidence, not a newly discovered record. Attached father: [John Glasgow](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1095). Assessment: **uncertain**. Reason: The same-property succession supports the older John as a probable father, but the inspected title records do not establish that relationship; the biography already describes it as an inference. Source summary: Glasgow property protocols and maintained William findings. Saved on WikiTree and verified in the live edit form on 28 September 2026; only the father certainty and its explanation were updated.
Source findings — negative searches for William and the older John, 30–31 August 2026
The following searches found nothing new. They are index- or OCR-level negatives, not manuscript-level ones: - The published index to Glasgow Commissariot testaments, 1547–1800: no testament for William, Esbell Brade, the older John or Eufame Craig, no Glasgow-surname testament close to 1547–70, and no Crownar entry. William died before the series begins. - The NRS online catalogue, exact `William Glasgow` and the forms `Glasgw`, `Glasgu` and `Glesgw`, 1500–1540: the only personal hit is GD119/193, the 2 July 1526 Sandilands/Calder remission. - [*Registrum Magni Sigilli*, vol. III (1513–1546)](https://archive.org/details/registrummagnisi03scot) and *Exchequer Rolls*, vols. XV–XVI (1523–1536), OCR and index: no unambiguous William or John bearing Glasgow as a surname; the hits are the city, diocese or offices. - Cuthbert Simon's published protocols, 1499–1513: no unambiguous personal Glasgow bearer. Outstanding on-site sources: NRS NP1/5 (Michael Fleming, 1530–37), GCA B/10/1/3 (Heygate, 1562–76) and the Acts of the Lords of Council civil-process manuscripts. Recorded in `research/medieval-glasgow-bridge-1447-1534/report.md` (30 August 2026) and its `research-log.md`; carried into this file on 7 October 2026.
Source findings — negative father searches, 30 September 2026
A bounded search on 30 September 2026 found no new father clause for William or for the people linked to him: Robert (Glasgow-1096), Archibald (Glasgow-1097) and Isobella (Glasgow-3916), his probable family, and Elizabeth (Glasgow-3915), whose records do not show whether she was his daughter, sister or niece. No confidence changes. - Bain and Rogers, eds., *Liber protocollorum M. Cuthberti Simonis … Rental Book of the Diocese of Glasgow*, vol. 1 (1875), [NLS PDF](https://deriv.nls.uk/dcn23/8030/80303212.23.pdf): full extracted text searched for `Glasgow`, `Glasgw`, `Glasgu` and `Glesg`. No Glasgow parent bridge. Abstract 657 (pp. 559–560) makes Andrew Smyth son and heir of William Smyth. That is a Smith relationship and cannot be carried over to John de Glasgow alias Smith or to William Glasgow. - University of Glasgow, *Catalogue of the Blackhouse Charters* (2012): the only surname occurrence is the known BL/204 of 28 April 1506. - *Registrum Secreti Sigilli*, vol. 2 (1529–1542): Google Books search-within-volume snippets only. No kinship clause found, but this was not a full-volume search. OCR- and snippet-level negatives only; the underlying manuscripts were not read. Recorded in `research/pre-1700-2026-09-30/scottish/search-handoff.md` (30 September 2026); carried into this file on 7 October 2026.
