James Glasgow

About James
Glasgow-4178 was merged into Glasgow-3105 on 27 September 2026. Both profiles represented a father James Glasgow in 1689 Kilwinning baptism records, with no distinct parents, occupation or death to separate them. Anne was baptised 22 May and James was indexed 14 July. The one-father identification is inferred; these are child baptism/index dates and do not prove births two months apart to the same mother. Margaret Park is named for the July child, while Anne’s cited index does not name a mother. The old 1670 birth and Kilwinning birth place remain uncertain estimates from adult activity, not independent birth evidence.
