Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 70 — 10 September 2026

Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. ISABELL GLASGOW; indexed date 02/12/1694; Cavers; parish 785, reference 10 / 5. Parents/other exactly as indexed: WILLIAM GLASGOW/. Indexed gender: F.

Assessment: Matches the existing child-record account by indexed date, locality and recorded family. This row adds the complete index locator as supporting provenance; it does not establish a new event or relationship.

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: No additional WikiTree update from this row; preserve any existing pending work.

Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.

Recommended correction applied

Verified live 19 August 2026: the unsupported November date was replaced by 2 December 1694, marked uncertain because the two derivative transcriptions give 2 and 8 December. Glasgow-1605 is an uncertain father and the conflict is explained pending the original register.
