About Issobell

The surname-only Findmypast result is compatible with Glasgow-1520: Issobell Glasgow was baptised 7 July 1646 at the High Church, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, with father Williame Glasgow and mother Bessie Howie. The transcript supplies direct parent and event evidence; it does not by itself prove that the profile represents this child rather than another same-named Glasgow.

Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 71 — 10 September 2026

Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. ISSOBELL GLASGOW; indexed date 07/07/1646; Glasgow; parish 644 / 1, reference 40 / 81. Parents/other exactly as indexed: WILLIAME GLASGOW/BESSIE HOWIE. Indexed gender: F.

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.

Duplicate and relationship cautions

No new person draft is warranted. The record identifies the parents as names, not as the existing WikiTree parent profiles. Do not promote or replace any attached relationship without a separate identity audit.
