Still open
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.
