About John

The supplied ScotlandsPeople index has a Duddingston deaths-and-burials entry dated 15 January 1638 for JON, with other indexed detail JOHNE GLASGOW (parish 684, reference 60/16). This is a probable, but unproved, match for this profile: its latest live capture records John born at Duddingston on 11 January 1638 to John Glasgow and Helen Patoune.

What the research found

These research notes were last revised on 10 September 2026.

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

The dates and parish make an infant death/burial of this child a strong possibility. The original register image has not been inspected, however, and the index does not establish what the other-name field means. It must not be treated as proof that Johne Glasgow was the child's father, nor must the 15 January index date be entered as an exact death date. The original must establish whether the date denotes death, burial or another burial-related entry.

The biography cites JOHNE 11-01-1638 JOHNE GLASGOW/HELENE PATOUNE ... Duddingston 684/, FR38. Confirms the existing child-record citation and the absence of a death account; it does not independently identify the 15 January row.
Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 47 — 10 September 2026

Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. JOHNE GLASGOW; indexed date 11/01/1638; Duddingston; parish 684, reference 10 / 31. Parents/other exactly as indexed: JOHNE GLASGOW/HELENE PATOUNE FR38 (FR38). Indexed gender: U.

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

Glasgow-3014 is the leading candidate because its recorded Duddingston birth is four days before the indexed event. The adjacent 1641 Duddingston burial row for JON / other JON GLASGOW (684/60/24) is not securely this child: it is chronologically possible, but the later 1639 Duddingston child John Glasgow is also a candidate. Keep all three records separate until an image or a fuller transcription gives a distinguishing age, parent, residence or relationship.

Still open

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

Priority research

Needs updated on WikiTree: add the qualified 1638 identification and the 1641 competing-record note using the complete replacement draft. No live edit has been made; no exact death or new relationship is proposed.

Obtain and transcribe the original Duddingston OPR entry at 684/60/16. Record the event as a burial only if the entry confirms that character, and add a parental relationship only if it is actually written. Compare the original with 684/60/24 before revising the structured birth or death fields or any family attachment.

Research notes as originally written

Current conclusion

The supplied ScotlandsPeople index has a Duddingston deaths-and-burials entry dated **15 January 1638** for **JON**, with other indexed detail **JOHNE GLASGOW** (parish 684, reference 60/16). This is a probable, but unproved, match for this profile: its latest live capture records John born at Duddingston on 11 January 1638 to John Glasgow and Helen Patoune.

The dates and parish make an infant death/burial of this child a strong possibility. The original register image has not been inspected, however, and the index does not establish what the other-name field means. It must not be treated as proof that Johne Glasgow was the child's father, nor must the 15 January index date be entered as an exact death date. The original must establish whether the date denotes death, burial or another burial-related entry.

Identity assessment

Glasgow-3014 is the leading candidate because its recorded Duddingston birth is four days before the indexed event. The adjacent 1641 Duddingston burial row for JON / other JON GLASGOW (684/60/24) is not securely this child: it is chronologically possible, but the later 1639 Duddingston child [[Glasgow-1559|John Glasgow]] is also a candidate. Keep all three records separate until an image or a fuller transcription gives a distinguishing age, parent, residence or relationship.

Priority research

**Needs updated on WikiTree:** add the qualified 1638 identification and the
1641 competing-record note using the complete replacement draft. No live edit
has been made; no exact death or new relationship is proposed.

Obtain and transcribe the original Duddingston OPR entry at 684/60/16. Record the event as a burial only if the entry confirms that character, and add a parental relationship only if it is actually written. Compare the original with 684/60/24 before revising the structured birth or death fields or any family attachment.
