Margaret Glasgow
6 May 1610
Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland
About Margaret
Margaret Glasgow was baptised at Glasgow High Kirk on 6 May 1610, a daughter of George Glasgow and Margaret Steuart, and married James Stewart (Stewart-62608), merchant. Her father, George Glasgow (Glasgow-1099), merchant and burgess, is proved by the baptism together with the Glasgow burgess register, which admitted James Stewart on 18 July 1633 by right of his wife Margaret, lawful daughter of George Glasgow; her mother rests on the baptism alone. The burgess entry proves the marriage; the profile dates it both 7 April and 4 July 1632, and neither is settled. A 1636 testament index entry for a Margaret in Byris of Kilwinning is only a possible match.

What the records show
Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 13 — 10 September 2026
Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. MARGRAT GLASGOW; indexed date 06/05/1610; Glasgow; parish 644 / 1, reference 10 / 31. Parents/other exactly as indexed: GEORGE GLASGOW/MARGRAT STEUART. Indexed gender: F.
Assessment: Matches the already documented Glasgow-1100 baptism on 6 May 1610, with George Glasgow and Margaret Steuart. The different adult Glasgow-3186 is not this record match.
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: No additional WikiTree update from this row; preserve any existing pending work.
FamilySearch testament index — possible Margaret in Byris, 8 November 1636
FamilySearch, Glasgow. Wills 1547–1800, item #007960708, image 112/300,
printed index p. 196, under the explicit Glasgow heading, reads
“Margaret, in Byris of Kilwinning,” dated 8 November 1636. The same page
visually aligns 9 May 1605 with Katherine, spouse of Thomas Weir, and shows
that the adjacent 1636 entry is Margaret, not Mary. Francis J. Grant’s complete
published scan confirms the page and row alignment: printed p. 196.
Assessment: Glasgow-1100 (Margarat Glasgow, baptised in Glasgow in 1610, wife of James Stewart by 1632) is chronologically possible, but the index gives no spouse, kin, occupation or link to Byris. The identity is unconfirmed; the index date is not a proved death date. This source has been added to her live WikiTree profile only as a possible match, with no structured vital date/place changed. Glasgow-3598 and Glasgow-3186 were also checked, but neither has a Kilwinning/Byris link. No new profile is warranted while Glasgow-1100 remains a plausible candidate.
Next action: Locate and inspect the underlying Glasgow testament for any named spouse, children or other distinguishing detail; then resolve whether the entry belongs to Glasgow-1100 or an otherwise unidentified Margaret.
Source findings — baptism witnesses and the 1632 marriage dates, 7 October 2026
Margaret's baptism at Glasgow High Kirk on 6 May 1610 names John Bornes and David Scheirar as witnesses (Glasgow High Kirk Baptisms 1609–1777, reference 1/233; Findmypast transcript R_693716335; seen as transcriptions, original image not inspected).
The profile material gives two transposed dates for her marriage to James Stewart (Stewart-62608): 7 April 1632 in the structured field and 4 July 1632 in the biography, both attributed to Glasgow OPR 644/1, reference 230/109. Neither date should be treated as settled until the register entry is read. The 1633 burgess admission above proves the marriage itself.
Recorded in research/Glasgow-1100/Glasgow-1100.md (legacy draft, last committed 7 September 2026); carried into this file on 7 October 2026.
Identity and family
Source findings — 1633 burgess admission naming her father, 18 July 1633
James Stewart, merchant, was admitted burgess and guild brother of Glasgow on 18 July 1633 by right of his wife Margaret, lawful daughter of George Glasgow, merchant, burgess and guild brother. James R. Anderson, ed., Burgesses & Guild Brethren of Glasgow, 1573–1750, printed p. 86 (archive.org scan); local extract sources/1633_burgess_register_extract.txt. Seen as a printed transcription; the underlying burgess roll was not inspected.
Assessment: proved. With the 6 May 1610 Glasgow baptism (parents George Glasgow and Margaret Steuart), two independent records identify George Glasgow (Glasgow-1099) as her father. The admission does not name her mother, who rests on the baptism alone. The cluster dashboard notes that the structured mother link needs correcting (see Glasgow-1100.md on Stewart-65226 and Steuart-563); do not merge any Stewart profiles on this evidence.

Margaret Glasgow was baptised at Glasgow High Kirk on 6 May 1610, a daughter of George Glasgow and Margaret Steuart, and married James Stewart (Stewart-62608), merchant. Her father, George Glasgow (Glasgow-1099), merchant and burgess, is proved by the baptism together with the Glasgow burgess register, which admitted James Stewart on 18 July 1633 by right of his wife Margaret, lawful daughter of George Glasgow; her mother rests on the baptism alone. The burgess entry proves the marriage; the profile dates it both 7 April and 4 July 1632, and neither is settled. A 1636 testament index entry for a Margaret in Byris of Kilwinning is only a possible match.

Source findings — 1633 burgess admission naming her father, 18 July 1633
James Stewart, merchant, was admitted burgess and guild brother of Glasgow on 18 July 1633 by right of his wife Margaret, lawful daughter of George Glasgow, merchant, burgess and guild brother. James R. Anderson, ed., *Burgesses & Guild Brethren of Glasgow, 1573–1750*, printed p. 86 ([archive.org scan](https://archive.org/details/scottishrecordso43scotuoft/page/n100/mode/2up)); local extract `sources/1633_burgess_register_extract.txt`. Seen as a printed transcription; the underlying burgess roll was not inspected. **Assessment:** proved. With the 6 May 1610 Glasgow baptism (parents George Glasgow and Margaret Steuart), two independent records identify [George Glasgow (Glasgow-1099)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1099) as her father. The admission does not name her mother, who rests on the baptism alone. The cluster dashboard notes that the structured mother link needs correcting (see `Glasgow-1100.md` on Stewart-65226 and Steuart-563); do not merge any Stewart profiles on this evidence. Recorded in `surname-research/clusters/README.md` (19 July 2026) and `research/Glasgow-1099/findings.md`; carried into this file on 7 October 2026.
