John Glasgow
1782 – c. January 1848
Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland
About John
Glasgow-3054 was merged into this profile on 27 September 2026 as the leading match between a Glasgow John in an August 1782 baptism index and the John memorialised as dying in January 1848 at Glasgow's Southern Necropolis. No parent, spouse or continuous identifier links the two records directly. The baptism is the more specific early event; the memorial's 1783 birth year and January 1848 death remain derivative and uncertain. John-2952 of St Vincent died by 1817 and is incompatible with the 1848 burial.
