What the records show
Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 23 — 10 September 2026
Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. THOMAS GLASGOW; indexed date 12/08/1666; St Cuthbert's; parish 685 / 2, reference 30 / 77. Parents/other exactly as indexed: ALEXANDER GLASGOW/ISSOBELL ANDERSONE FR619 (FR619). Indexed gender: M.
Assessment: The supplied 12/08/1666 St Cuthbert's index date differs from the profile’s structured birth date 1666-08-08. The original register is needed to determine whether these describe separate birth and baptism dates or a transcription discrepancy.
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: Review the complete proposed profile update; reconcile the dates in the original register before altering structured fields.

Unresolved — 1691 testament of Thomas Glasgow, writer in Edinburgh, 7 October 2026
The profile's research notes list a testament testamentar and inventory of Thomas Glasgow, writer in Edinburgh, Edinburgh Commissary Court, NRS CC8/8/79, with the index date 27 January 1691. Seen only as an index line copied into the profile. This Thomas, baptised at St Cuthbert's in August 1666, would have been 24, so the testament is chronologically possible for him, but nothing yet links them: the line gives no parents, wife or executor. Do not treat it as his death record until the register entry is read for a father, executor or other identifier.
Recorded in research/Glasgow-1311/Glasgow-1311.md (undated legacy draft); carried into this file on 7 October 2026.
