How parent leads are calculated
Automated leads use birth surnames—not married surnames—as parental eligibility, role-specific biological age limits, bounded and approximate-date uncertainty, household chronology, specific time-aware localities, mapped distance, tenancy succession, migration destinations and sex-aware Scottish naming positions across generations. People already attached as the subject's parents stay in the identity summary and are excluded from this alternative-candidate list, regardless of relationship confidence. The main calibration uses clues available on disconnected profiles; existing parent and sibling links are retained as comparison context rather than treated as transferable evidence. Common ordered names and grandparent-to-child echoes receive a small non-zero weight, so a John or James match can support several independent criteria without producing a lead alone. Rare names, repeated bearers and bundles across otherwise distinct branches receive substantially more weight according to catalogue frequency. An exact migration place is weighted by its rarity and repetition across both branches; a shared destination country is worth only one point. Extra weight is added only when at least three independent clue types converge: naming, locality, specific migration, household chronology or collateral networks. Sparse profiles retain a clearly labelled chronology-only fallback instead of disappearing. Countries, states, counties and research clusters do not count as a shared locality, and fallback, broad representative or kin-inferred coordinates are excluded from distance scoring. Shared descendant profiles are removed before branch-name comparison. A candidate already recorded as a parent-in-law is excluded. A confident or independently supported parent is treated as settled; uncertain and unassessed attachments remain open to alternative comparison. A different linked parent, an uncle/aunt or grandparent path, and a matching existing child profile prevent an alternative from being classified as a strong direct-parent lead until the underlying tree conflict or duplicate is resolved. Familiar forms such as Bessie are normalised. Surname remains an eligibility filter worth zero points.
Naming customs, shared farms and occupations are circumstantial. Children, spouses and collateral relatives may be missing, and tree-derived family networks are not independent evidence. Scores rank research leads; they do not prove parentage.

How duplicate leads are calculated
Dates are eligibility gates, not merely deductions: chronologically impossible people are excluded. Dates, places, spouses, parent certainty and children's profiles and names are then compared. A high score is a prompt to inspect records, not a merge recommendation.

Conclusion
This profile combines at least three propositions: father John with Agnes Martine in the 1693 baptism, John Glasgow elder, skipper in 1725, and bailie in 1740. The records share name and Irvine, but the biography itself says the 1693 baptism may concern another John. The combined identity is not proved.
Glasgow-1434, baptised in 1679 at Kilwinning and later associated with Stevenston, remains an open candidate for part of this reconstruction. The alleged duplicate-son conflict is not enough to exclude him, but his young age in 1693 and lack of a burgh-record bridge prevent a merge.

Record-bearing passages
- Biography John Glasgow was born about 1675 and is associated with Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland. Both the date and place are part of a reconstruction and remain uncertain. This profile currently combines at least three same-name propositions which have not been proved to represent one man. 1693 father proposition An Irvine baptism dated 8 October 1693 records a son John to a father named John Glasgow and Agnes Martine. “Scotland Births and Baptisms, 1564–1950,” FamilySearch, John Glasgow and Agnes Martine, baptism of son John, 8 October 1693, Irvine 595/ M. This record proves that a couple with those names had a son John; it does not identify the father as the 1725 skipper or the 1740 bailie. Agnes Martine and John Glasgow are retained on this combined profile as uncertain relationship candidates. 1725 skipper proposition In 1725, John Glasgow elder, skipper in Irvine, purchased a one-sixteenth share of the ship Janet of Irvine, commanded by James Miller, for £7 sterling. Irvine Burgh catalogue (https://ayrshirearchives.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/irvine-burgh-catalogue-2017-watermarked.pdf), 1725 ship-share entry. The word “elder” distinguishes him from a younger namesake. It does not by itself prove that the younger John was his son, identify Agnes Martine as his wife, or connect him to the 1693 baptism family. 1740 bailie proposition A 1740 Irvine record names John Glasgow as a bailie in a legal summons against Elizabeth Cunninghame, widow of Robert Montgomerie of Broomland. The shared name and Irvine setting make the 1725 skipper and 1740 bailie possible matches, but the cited records do not supply an occupation, family relationship or other bridge proving they were the same man. Comparison with Glasgow-1434 John Glasgow, baptised in 1679 at Kilwinning and later associated with Stevenston, remains an open candidate for part of this reconstruction. He would have been only about fourteen when the son John was baptised in 1693, which weighs against—but does not by itself disprove—the father proposition. The alleged duplicate-son conflict is not decisive because the skipper, bailie and family identifications on this profile are themselves reconstructed. The profiles should not be merged or detached without burgh or parish evidence linking the Kilwinning/Stevenston man to Irvine.
John's death remains unknown. If the 1740 bailie was the same person represented here, he was alive in that year; that equation is not proved. Research Notes
- The 1693 father, 1725 skipper and 1740 bailie are three separate propositions.
- The attached spouse Agnes Martine and son John are retained as uncertain links, not proved members of the skipper/bailie household.
- “Elder” proves only that a younger namesake existed, not that the younger man was his son.
- The possible relationship to Michael Glasgow remains unproved.
- Compare witnesses, occupations and residences in Irvine burgh and shipping records before considering a merge with Glasgow-1434. Sources
