About Isobel

The saved Irvine descendants page preserves an exact, potentially valuable collateral relationship: Isobel Rankine, wife of John Rankine, was reportedly served heir-general to her uncle James Glasgow, shipmaster in Irvine, with the service registered 9 May 1766. The citation points to the printed Decennial Indexes to the Services of Heirs in Scotland, 1700–1859, but no official image or full printed entry was preserved with the page.

Saved transcription of the Decennial Indexes, registration 9 May 1766	“Isobel Rankine, wife of Jn. Rankine, wright, Irvine, to her uncle James Glasgow, shipmaster there, heir portr. gen.”	Exact source lead supporting husband, residence and uncle relationship; verify against the printed index/service before adding as proved.
Existing gravestone evidence	Isobel died 5 June 1821 aged 89.	Already live; independent of the heirs-index lead.

Still open

Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.

Recommended next record

Locate the 1766 printed index entry and, if possible, the underlying service of heir. Once verified, add the uncle relationship to both profiles. Do not create or attach a new James Glasgow until duplicate and identity checks distinguish him from the existing Irvine shipmaster profiles.

Current conclusion

The saved Irvine descendants page preserves an exact, potentially valuable
collateral relationship: Isobel Rankine, wife of John Rankine, was reportedly
served heir-general to her uncle James Glasgow, shipmaster in Irvine, with the
service registered 9 May 1766. The citation points to the printed *Decennial
Indexes to the Services of Heirs in Scotland, 1700–1859*, but no official image
or full printed entry was preserved with the page.
