About John

John's latest live capture records his birth at Duddingston on 4 April 1639, son of John Glasgow and Margaret Sluman. He cannot therefore be the JON / other JOHNE GLASGOW index event dated 15 January 1638 (Duddingston 684, reference 60/16).

What the research found

These research notes were last revised on 10 September 2026.

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

He is one of two chronological Duddingston candidates for the later index row dated 23 August 1641, but no identity match is established. Do not add either burial index row as his death without inspection of the original entry.

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.

Identity and family

Identity assessment

The 1641 entry is compatible with this child by name, parish and age (about two), but it does not uniquely identify him. John Glasgow, recorded born at Duddingston on 11 January 1638, is also compatible with the same row. The available index text does not state an age, parent, residence or other discriminator, and it does not establish whether the other JON GLASGOW was a father, relative or another subject.

Still open

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

Priority research

Needs updated on WikiTree: add the 1641 candidate-record comparison as a research note only. This flags useful new evidence for review, not a matched death or a request to populate the death field. The event remains HOLD for identity, shared with the comparison on Glasgow-3014.

Inspect and transcribe Duddingston OPR 684/60/24. Compare its wording against the recorded 1638 and 1639 births before placing the event on a profile. If the entry identifies John Glasgow and Margaret Sluman's child, record a burial on 23 August 1641 separately from any death-date assertion.

Research notes as originally written

Current conclusion

John's latest live capture records his birth at Duddingston on **4 April 1639**, son of John Glasgow and Margaret Sluman. He cannot therefore be the JON / other JOHNE GLASGOW index event dated 15 January 1638 (Duddingston 684, reference 60/16).

He is one of two chronological Duddingston candidates for the later index row dated 23 August 1641, but no identity match is established. Do not add either burial index row as his death without inspection of the original entry.

Identity assessment

The 1641 entry is compatible with this child by name, parish and age (about two), but it does not uniquely identify him. [[Glasgow-3014|John Glasgow]], recorded born at Duddingston on 11 January 1638, is also compatible with the same row. The available index text does not state an age, parent, residence or other discriminator, and it does not establish whether the other JON GLASGOW was a father, relative or another subject.

Priority research

**Needs updated on WikiTree:** add the 1641 candidate-record comparison as a
research note only. This flags useful new evidence for review, not a matched
death or a request to populate the death field. The event remains HOLD for
identity, shared with the comparison on Glasgow-3014.

Inspect and transcribe Duddingston OPR 684/60/24. Compare its wording against the recorded 1638 and 1639 births before placing the event on a profile. If the entry identifies John Glasgow and Margaret Sluman's child, record a burial on 23 August 1641 separately from any death-date assertion.
