OPR index comparison, 10 September 2026
The supplied 19/01/1696 Irvine index date differs from the profile’s structured birth date 1696-01-01. The original register is needed to determine whether these describe separate birth and baptism dates or a transcription discrepancy.
What the records show
Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 27 — 10 September 2026
Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. HUGH GLASGOW; indexed date 19/01/1696; Irvine; parish 595, reference 10 / 18. Parents/other exactly as indexed: HUGH GLASGOW/JEAN SERVICE FR26A (FR26). Indexed gender: M.
Assessment: The supplied 19/01/1696 Irvine index date differs from the profile’s structured birth date 1696-01-01. The original register is needed to determine whether these describe separate birth and baptism dates or a transcription discrepancy.
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: Review the complete proposed profile update; reconcile the dates in the original register before altering structured fields.
Identity and family
Identity assessment — Irvine/London sailor
The printed Edinburgh testament index names Hugh Glasgow, sometime sailor in Irvine and thereafter in London, on 12 March 1751. Correct Findmypast mariner and testament rows confirm that date. The apparent 3 February 1733 row is a parser conflation with the following James Glasgow entry. See the source-correction dossier.
This profile fits the name, Irvine and chronology, but the testament index does not name Hugh's age, parents, spouse, vessel, executor or London address. Several other Ayrshire Hugh profiles remain viable.

Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.
Recommended action
Do not amend this profile from the 1751 record without a second identifier.

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 19/01/1696 Irvine index date and explain its difference from the existing birth details.
Compared with Glasgow-3108, 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.
