These child positions and checks are the subject details used to rank possible parents below.
Naming sequence used by the parentage model
Known-position checks: 0 support · 0 conflict. Ordinals retain unnamed children and recognise reused names.
Estimate and relationship notes
- WikiTree marks this person as having children, but no named child profile is recoverable from this export.
Relationship comparison
Potential parents or duplicates
Compare scored leads with the subject details above—not proof.
No named children are recoverable, so child-naming analysis cannot be run.
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.
No sufficiently similar same-name person is currently indexed.
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.

| Source | Finding | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Scotland OPR marriage and baptism entries cited in the captured WikiTree profile | The records establish Issobell's marriage and children but do not name her parents. | Direct family evidence, negative for parentage. |
| Henry Paton, ed., *The Register of Marriages for the Parish of Edinburgh, 1595-1700*, printed p. 267, 10 June 1619; local extract | Isobel Glasgow married William Symountoun, tailor. The same surname page records Margaret Glasgow marrying a cordiner in 1611 and Barbara Glasgow marrying a cordiner in 1616. | Direct spouse, date and husband's occupation evidence. The cluster is a useful kinship hypothesis but supplies no father. |

Case-file priorities and cautions
Recommendation
Add William Symountoun's occupation and the published-register citation. Keep Isobel's parentage unknown. Test the Tailors incorporation and Edinburgh proclamation records for father, cautioner or marriage-right evidence before connecting her to Margaret-3598 or either adult Barbara.
Recommended correction applied
Verified live 19 August 2026: the 10 June 1619 marriage, William Symountoun's tailor occupation and the published-register citation are live. The birth estimate is uncertain and no parents are inferred from the craft cluster.
