About George
George's existing Jean Gardiner marriage matches the 8 November 1678 Kilwinning index. The additional 5 August 1680 entry names Isobell Young, which must not silently be substituted for the Jonet Young appearing in the family's baptism problem. It supplies a new comparison, not proof of a second wife or of identity between the Young and Gardiner women. The originals must establish whether the same George appears in both entries.

What the records show
Source findings
Live WikiTree confirms George Glasgow and Jean Gardiner are attached with 8 November 1678, matching Kilwinning OPR 599/10/312 (row 45). The related 5 August 1680 row naming George and Isobell Young (599/10/313, row 33) is a material additional indexed event, but cannot safely be attached as a second spouse: the live Jean profile already records an unresolved Young/Gardiner identity question. A replacement draft preserves that uncertainty pending the original registers.

Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.
Priority action
Needs updated on WikiTree: add the qualified indexed evidence and explain the conflict; retain existing populated attachments and dates uncertain pending the original. No live edit had been made when this was written on 10 September 2026 (see the register note below).
Recommended correction — register status of the 1680 amendment, 7 October 2026
The WikiTree register (surname-research/to-update.md, section "OPR banns and marriages through 1700", existing-profile amendments, row for Glasgow-2714, updated 29 September 2026) records this amendment, the separate 5 August 1680 Isobell Young index event "recorded without asserting a second spouse or identity", as applied live on 17 September 2026. This file's earlier statement under "Priority action" that no live edit had been made was written on 10 September 2026 and predates that entry. The live profile was not re-read for this note.

Current conclusion
George's existing Jean Gardiner marriage matches the 8 November 1678 Kilwinning index. The additional 5 August 1680 entry names **Isobell Young**, which must not silently be substituted for the **Jonet Young** appearing in the family's baptism problem. It supplies a new comparison, not proof of a second wife or of identity between the Young and Gardiner women. The originals must establish whether the same George appears in both entries.
