His 7 November 1701 marriage to Margaret Aikman, their son Andrew, and his 16 November 1705 marriage to Janet Graham are now preserved together on the live profile.

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

The merge resolves the duplicate profile but not every relationship. The 1707 James and 1711 Marion baptisms name only father Alexander, so Janet remains a plausible rather than proved mother. No source yet cited identifies Glasgow-1141 as Alexander's child. The former 1685 birth estimate has no known source and must not be restored.

What the records show

Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 1 — 10 September 2026

Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. ALEXANDER GLASGOW; indexed date 20/07/1673; Kirknewton and East Calder; parish 690, reference 10 / 75. Parents/other exactly as indexed: ALEXANDER GLASGOW/. Indexed gender: M.

Assessment: Confirmed on current profile Glasgow-1314: birth 7 July 1673 and christening 20 July 1673 are already distinguished. Glasgow-3119 redirects to Glasgow-1314.

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.

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

Recommended update

Retain the sourced 1673 event, attached father and Margaret Aikman family.
Retain the sourced 1705 Janet Graham marriage while keeping the maternity of James and Marion uncertain.
Keep Glasgow-1141 uncertain unless a child-parent record is found.
Treat Glasgow-3119 only as a former redirected ID, not a separate person.

Conclusion

Glasgow-3119 now redirects to this canonical profile. FamilySearch VQ4K-X9V
supports Alexander's 7 July 1673 birth and 20 July baptism at Kirknewton and
names his father Alexander. His 7 November 1701 marriage to Margaret Aikman,
their son Andrew, and his 16 November 1705 marriage to Janet Graham are now
preserved together on the live profile.

The merge resolves the duplicate profile but not every relationship. The 1707
James and 1711 Marion baptisms name only father Alexander, so Janet remains a
plausible rather than proved mother. No source yet cited identifies
[[Glasgow-1141]] as Alexander's child. The former 1685 birth estimate has no
known source and must not be restored.

Recommended update

- Retain the sourced 1673 event, attached father and Margaret Aikman family.
- Retain the sourced 1705 Janet Graham marriage while keeping the maternity of
  James and Marion uncertain.
- Keep Glasgow-1141 uncertain unless a child-parent record is found.
- Treat Glasgow-3119 only as a former redirected ID, not a separate person.
