Thomas Glasgow

Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
About Thomas
Substantive amendment. The Findmypast baptism transcript exactly matches Thomas by date, Edinburgh locality and his attached father, Thomas Glasgow. It resolves a material internal error: the structured father is Glasgow-3285, but the captured biography instead calls Thomas Glasgow and Jean Duncan his parents. The record names only the father and supports upgrading that relationship from uncertain to confident; it supplies no mother.
