About Margaret

The supplied 16 November 1643 entry belongs to the William Glasgow / Bessie Howie household, represented by Margaret Glasgow. It does not establish the birth date or the Thomas Glasgow / Agnes Thomsone parentage of Glasgow-3050. The shared date is an unresolved attribution conflict, not sufficient grounds to merge or detach either profile.

OPR index comparison, 10 September 2026

What the records show

Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 122 — 10 September 2026

Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. MARGARET GLASGOW; indexed date 16/11/1643; Glasgow; parish 644 / 1, reference 30 / 360. Parents/other exactly as indexed: WM. GLASGOW/BESSIE HOWIE. Indexed gender: F.

Assessment: Matches Margaret Glasgow-1524 by date and named parents William Glasgow and Bessie Howie. Glasgow-3050 has the same date but different parents and place; the supplied record does not support that attribution. Keep the profiles separate pending independent evidence.

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: Add the attribution conflict to Glasgow-3050; obtain an independent source before changing dates, parents or merging.

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: qualify the 16 November 1643 date attribution; the indexed parents are William Glasgow and Bessie Howie, not the household attached to this profile.

Compared with Glasgow-3050, 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.

Research notes as originally written

Current conclusion

The supplied 16 November 1643 entry belongs to the William Glasgow / Bessie Howie household, represented by [[Glasgow-1524|Margaret Glasgow]]. It does not establish the birth date or the Thomas Glasgow / Agnes Thomsone parentage of Glasgow-3050. The shared date is an unresolved attribution conflict, not sufficient grounds to merge or detach either profile.

Priority action

Needs update on WikiTree: add the sourced attribution conflict to the biography, preserving current structured relationships while seeking an independent original entry for this profile.
