About Samuel

Samuel John's original 1866 marriage proves that his father was Andrew Glasgow, a labourer. Andrew Glasgow-1050, the Glenleslie linen weaver who died in 1848, is the strongest local match and is chronologically capable of being Samuel's father. The relationship is probable rather than certain because the marriage does not state Andrew's residence.

Current conclusion

Samuel John's original 1866 marriage proves that his father was Andrew Glasgow,
a labourer. Andrew `Glasgow-1050`, the Glenleslie linen weaver who died in 1848,
is the strongest local match and is chronologically capable of being Samuel's
father. The relationship is probable rather than certain because the marriage
does not state Andrew's residence.

The source currently linked from the WikiTree profile points to an unrelated
1870 birth. It should be supplemented, not deleted, with the correct original
marriage image.
