OPR index comparison, 10 September 2026
The supplied 05/01/1651 Edinburgh index date differs from the profile’s structured birth date 1651-01-01. The original register is needed to determine whether these describe separate birth and baptism dates or a transcription discrepancy.

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 05/01/1651 Edinburgh index date and explain its difference from the existing birth details.
Compared with Glasgow-3097, 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.
