These research notes were last revised on 10 September 2026.

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

The index identifies a father named William but does not distinguish his historical identity among similarly named profiles. Johne has the same indexed date and reference, which does not by itself establish that the children were twins.

Source Finding Assessment
Findmypast, Scotland Parish Births & Baptisms 1564-1929, Issobell Glasgow, 3 February 1648 Issobell Glasgow was baptised 3 February 1648 at Midcalder; residence Kirknewtonn; father Wm Glasgow; archive reference OPR 694/1. Direct index transcript matching the existing Mid Calder 1648 occurrence; it supports the existing duplicate review, not a new person.

The parallel Findmypast result identifiers R_686312102 and R_694109265 also display Issobell Glasgow, birth year 1648, Midlothian, and are retained as duplicate raw hits rather than separate people.

Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 28 — 10 September 2026

Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. ISSOBELL GLASGOW; indexed date 03/02/1648; Mid Calder; parish 694, reference 10 / 94. Parents/other exactly as indexed: WILLIAM GLASGOW/. Indexed gender: F.

Assessment: Matches Isobel Glasgow-2454. Former duplicate Glasgow-3654 redirects to this profile in the 10 September 2026 API check. Johne (row 7) shares the date and reference; this alone does not prove twins.

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 new profile or merge is required; inspect the original for any explicit twin wording and fuller parent identification.
