Andrew Glasgow
c. 1645
Kirknewton, Linlithgowshire, Scotland
About Andrew
Andrew is a legitimate record-defined father: Kirknewton baptism indexes name Andrew/Andro Glasgow as father of Bessie in 1666 and William in 1671. The latter is Glasgow-1026, so that father-child link is direct rather than a naming-pattern reconstruction.

What the research found
Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
No inspected record identifies Andrew's wife, parents, birth or death. His
about 1645 birth is a demographic estimate from the 1666 child, and the
structured link to William-3515
rests only on locality and naming. It should not be treated as proved.
What the records show
Source findings
| Source | Finding | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Bessie Glasgow baptism, FamilySearch VQ4K-ZQX | Bessie was baptised 29 May 1666 at Kirknewton, daughter of Andrew Glasgow. | Direct father-child evidence for Glasgow-1493. |
| William Glasgow baptism, FamilySearch VQ4K-F2B | William, son of Andro Glasgow, was born 9 September and baptised 24 September 1671 at Kirknewton. | Direct father-child evidence for Glasgow-1026. The record does not give William the middle name Walter. |
| William-3515 findings | The earlier William profile represents baptismal father occurrences from 1643–1655, but no entry names a son Andrew. | Chronologically possible father; relationship unsupported. |
| Live Glasgow-1319 profile | The biography states that no birth record for Andrew has been found and argues from his children's names. | The profile itself provides no evidence for Andrew's own parentage. |
Still open
Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.
Recommended WikiTree changes
- Retain Bessie-1493 and William-1026 as confirmed children and cite both baptism indexes on Andrew's profile.
- Retain
about 1645and Kirknewton as explicitly uncertain estimates from the 1666 child. Kirknewton is Andrew's documented child-baptism location, not his proved birthplace, but remains a useful estimate until better evidence supplies a replacement. - Retain William-3515 as an uncertain father; no record names Andrew as William's son and the link should not be treated as proved.
- Leave Andrew's mother and spouse blank. Do not manufacture a wife from the children's entries.
- Add no death date or place without a separate record.
Do not infer
- Parentage from the name William used by Andrew's son.
- That Andrew was born at the parish where his children were baptised.
- Any Scotland-to-Ireland connection from the later claims on William-1026.

Current conclusion
Andrew is a legitimate record-defined father: Kirknewton baptism indexes name Andrew/Andro Glasgow as father of Bessie in 1666 and William in 1671. The latter is [Glasgow-1026](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-1026), so that father-child link is direct rather than a naming-pattern reconstruction. No inspected record identifies Andrew's wife, parents, birth or death. His `about 1645` birth is a demographic estimate from the 1666 child, and the structured link to [William-3515](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3515) rests only on locality and naming. It should not be treated as proved.
