John Glasgow
4 April 1649
Kirknewton and East Calder, Midlothian, Scotland
About John
The supplied 22/04/1649 Kirknewton and East Calder index date differs from the profile’s structured birth date 1649-04-04. The original register is needed to determine whether these describe separate birth and baptism dates or a transcription discrepancy.

What the records show
Source findingsSupplied OPR banns and marriages — 10 September 2026
| Source locator | Indexed parties | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Scotland’s People, 1673-07-25, Kirknewton and East Calder, OPR 690/10 / 70 | JOHNE GLASGOW; MARGARET CURRIE/FR45 (FR45) | The same indexed couple and date are already represented on the existing live profile; this is confirming source evidence. |
Source: Old Parish Registers, banns and marriages; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 55 supplied results. Original images not inspected for this batch; combined index dates do not by themselves establish ceremony dates.
This batch adds supporting evidence or a qualified comparison only; it raises no additional WikiTree amendment for this profile.

Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. JOHNE GLASGOW; indexed date 22/04/1649; Kirknewton and East Calder; parish 690, reference 10 / 14. Parents/other exactly as indexed: JOHNE GLASGOW/ FR15 (FR15). Indexed gender: M.
Assessment: The supplied 22/04/1649 Kirknewton and East Calder index date differs from the profile’s structured birth date 1649-04-04. The original register is needed to determine whether these describe separate birth and baptism dates or a transcription discrepancy.
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: Review the complete proposed profile update; reconcile the dates in the original register before altering structured fields.
Source findings — Glencorse children cited on the live profile, 7 October 2026
The live profile, preserved in the 10 September 2026 draft, cites four children of John Glasgow and Margaret Currie (also indexed as Corrie) after their 1673 Kirknewton marriage:
| Child | Date and place as cited | Citation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robert (Glasgow-3011) | 29 December 1676, Glencorse | OPR 687, FR11 | Agrees with Robert's own findings (Glencorse 687). |
| William (Glasgow-3013) | 26 December 1680, Glencorse | OPR 687, FR16 | Agrees with the OPR index row in William's own findings. |
| Margaret (Glasgow-3085) | 13 April 1684, Glencorse | FamilySearch VQ4J-FXD, father "John Glaskow" | No research folder yet. |
| Charles James (Glasgow-2917) | 3 October 1686, Glencorse | FamilySearch VQ4J-JJK, father "John Glesgowe" | Conflict: Charles's own findings give baptism on 10 October 1686 at South Leith, citing the same FamilySearch entry and an Ancestry index. Not resolved here. |
Seen as index citations only; original register images not inspected. The move from Kirknewton to Glencorse is the draft's reading of these entries. Read Charles's original entry to settle the date and parish before relying on either.

Suggested profile text
For WikiTree editors
Suggested update to the WikiTree profile
This study has prepared revised text for the public WikiTree profile. WikiTree editors can compare it with the current profile and copy it; the research account above is the study's own.
Pending WikiTree update: add the 22/04/1649 Kirknewton and East Calder index date and explain its difference from the existing birth details.
Compared with Glasgow-3012, captured 2026-09-27T03:22:58+00:00 · 2026-09-18. This amendment requires manual action in WikiTree; the comparison shows the saved biography and prepared replacement. Relationship, confidence and vital-field changes must be applied separately.
