About Isobell

The live profile represents an Isobell Glasgow born before 10 August 1716 at Stitchel, Roxburghshire, with parents Patrick Glasgow and Helen Fairburn. A separate Scotland's People index entry records Isobell Glasgow baptised at Glencorse on 26 December 1714 to Robert Glasgow and Margaret Davidson. FamilySearch FMMM-S4T and FMMM-S4Y were inspected on 2 September 2026 and confirm the Stitchel event and Patrick/Helen parentage. The two records identify separate people; no merge or correction is justified.

Source Finding Assessment
FamilySearch FMMM-S4T and FMMM-S4Y The signed-in entries confirm Isobell's 10 August 1716 Stitchel christening and parents Patrick Glasgow and Helen Fairbarn. Establishes that Glasgow-1443 is the Stitchel person, distinct from the Glencorse child.
Scotland's People, Glencorse parish 687, reference 10/106 Isobell Glasgow was baptised 26 December 1714; parents named Robert Glasgow and Margaret Davidson. Independent conflicting index lead; does not identify Glasgow-1443.
Scotland's People, Glencorse parish 687, marriage reference 20/53 Robert Glasgow and Margaret Davidson married 8 June 1704. Supports the named Glencorse couple, not the identity of Glasgow-1443.

Still open

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

Recommended action

Keep Glasgow-1443 intact. Create the Glencorse Isobell separately and attach the Glencorse parental profiles only as uncertain until identity continuity for the named couple is independently strengthened.
