Edward Glasgow

Biography
Edward Glasgow has no identified birth or baptismal record. The structured estimate of about 1570 and the broad birthplace Scotland are retained as uncertain family-tree traditions. The often-repeated estimate of about 1583 is a narrower inference from his appearance as the father of a child baptised in 1615, not a recorded birth year. Either estimate is chronologically possible; his documented connection to Inveresk and Musselburgh begins with the 1615 baptism and does not prove that he was born there.

Edward is currently attached to James Glasgow as an uncertain son. No identified birth, baptismal, testamentary or other relational record names Edward's father. Earlier prose proposed James Glasgow (abt.1540–) from naming and locality alone; that stale proposal is not evidence for changing the current uncertain attachment.
Known Children
Edward appears in the Inveresk and Musselburgh parish register as the father of:

* Edward Glasgow – christened 6 June 1615 
** Scotland Births and Baptisms, 1564–1950: FamilySearch Record (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XTRN-75P)

The 1615 baptism proves that a man named Edward Glasgow was the child's father. It permits, but does not prove, an estimated birth in the later sixteenth century; it does not resolve the competing about-1570 and about-1583 estimates.
Context and Possible Family Connections
* Eduard Glasgow (1609–) is another individual baptized in the same parish, potentially a nephew or cousin.
* Edward’s activity in the Inveresk and Musselburgh area aligns him with a broader cluster of Glasgow family members recorded in early 17th-century Midlothian. This includes Alexander Glasgow (abt.1600–bef.1700) and his documented sons and daughters born between 1626 and 1637.
Research Notes
* Although Edward is not yet linked to a specific spouse in surviving records, further review of Inveresk OPR marriage entries from 1600–1620 may clarify this connection.
* Edward’s potential relationship to the Alexander Glasgow–Janet Clerk family should be explored via sasines and wills, if available.
