Summary of the research
Existing couple matched, 30 September 2026
Source and current-profile evidence
- Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, banns and marriages, exact surname Glasgow through 1700; official index supplied 10 September 2026, row 28. Indexed parties: ALEXANDER GLASGOW; ISSOBELL ANDERSON/FR991 (FR991). Indexed date 1665-06-16, Edinburgh, parish 685/1, reference 440 / 78.
- Read-only anonymous WikiTree API review, 30 September 2026, of Glasgow-1152 and Anderson-56713: Both profiles already carry the reciprocal spouse connection, marriage date 16 June 1665 and Edinburgh marriage location. This is current-profile evidence for the existing couple, not a replacement for the parish source.
Confidence: Matched to the represented existing couple. Original register image not inspected in this batch. The collection combines banns and marriages; the indexed date is not independently established as the ceremony date. This finding makes no new birth, parentage or child-identity inference.
Recommended action: Preserve the existing spouse connection and date; add the official index locator as supporting provenance. No new relationship attachment is required.
What the records show
Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 59 — 10 September 2026
Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. ALLEXANDER GLASGOW; indexed date 03/09/1637; Inveresk and Musselburgh; parish 689, reference 10 / 301. Parents/other exactly as indexed: ALLEXANDER GLASGOW/JANNET CLERK FR260 (FR260). Indexed gender: M.
Assessment: Matches the existing child-record account by indexed date, locality and recorded family. This row adds the complete index locator as supporting provenance; it does not establish a new event or relationship.
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.
