Katherine Glasgow
before 3 August 1749 – c. 26 February 1825
Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland
About Katherine
The 1749 Irvine Findmypast baptism belongs on Katharine Glasgow (Glasgow-1417), not on a new profile. The uncommon child name, parish, year and father Michael agree with the existing identity. The transcript's 3 September date conflicts with the 3 August christening date in the profile's FamilySearch citation; this is best treated as an unresolved month-reading or indexing conflict, not as evidence for two daughters born one month apart.

What the research found
Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
The structured father is Michael Glasgow (Glasgow-1410), although the live biography links the father's name to Glasgow-1412. The replacement draft fixes that prose link without changing the structured relationship. The Findmypast transcript names Michael but not the mother, so it does not independently prove the profile-ID identification of the father or the attachment to Mary Crauford.

Recommended correction

Recommended action
Add the record as supporting evidence while preserving all existing sources and uncertain relationships. Do not infer an unstated birth place, parent, spouse, or child.
