What the records show

Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 44 — 10 September 2026

Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. JOHN GLASGOW; indexed date 08/10/1693; Irvine; parish 595, reference 10 / 12. Parents/other exactly as indexed: JOHN GLASGOW/AGNES MARTINE FR23 (FR23). Indexed gender: M.

Assessment: Matches the existing child-record account by indexed date, locality and recorded family. This row adds the complete index locator as supporting provenance; it does not establish a new event or relationship.

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.

Next action: No additional WikiTree update from this row; preserve any existing pending work.
