What the records show
Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 18 — 10 September 2026
Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. AGNES GLASGOW; indexed date 28/02/1677; Kirknewton and East Calder; parish 690, reference 10 / 77. Parents/other exactly as indexed: ALEXANDER GLASGOW/. Indexed gender: F.
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.
Identity and family
Identity assessment — malformed burial index
Findmypast record SCOT/OPR/BUR/1625561 gives Kirknewton and East Calder and an
unyear'd 7 April burial, but cites OPR 689/20 and range 1642–1737. Parish 689
is Inveresk and volume 20 is deaths for 1820–1854; Kirknewton and East Calder
is parish 690. The displayed 1642 cannot concern a woman born in 1677, while
the row supplies no later event year. See the source-anomaly dossier.
