About John

The 1738 birth month is unresolved between September and October. The existing 4 October value is retained provisionally and marked uncertain; no identity change is justified without the original registers.

What the research found

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

John Glasgow was baptised at Irvine, Ayrshire, on 5 October 1738, the son of Robert Glasgow and Mary Borland, according to a Findmypast transcript of the parish register; the transcript gives his birth as 4 September 1738, while the profile keeps 4 October, marked uncertain, until the original register is checked. His father is attached as Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-2474), baptised at Irvine in 1716, an identification that is a reasonable same-town, age-compatible inference rather than proof. A separate entry for a John baptised to the same parents on 10 October 1736 is unresolved: the originals must show whether there were two sons or an index error.

Later additions

Newest first. Each addition adds to the summary above; it does not replace it.

Father-profile merge, 27 September 2026

The attached father is now Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-2474), following the merge of Glasgow-3479 into the documented 1716 Irvine baptism profile. Robert and Mary Borland are named in the 1738 baptism index; the identification of that adult Robert with the 1716 child is a reasonable same-town, age-compatible inference. The separate 1736 John entry remains unresolved despite Glasgow-4118 already redirecting to this profile.

Two Irvine baptism entries, 21 September 2026

The live Glasgow-4118 page redirects to Glasgow-3478. The surviving biography explicitly distinguishes the 10 October 1736 John from the later John; it has retained the earlier entry as a warning against conflation. The September batch's description of the merge as the same child is unsupported by the saved evidence. Two distinct register entries are reported, but originals must decide between successive same-name children and an index error before recreating or splitting profiles.

Findmypast Glasgow surname evidence

The transcript-validated baptism record for John Glasgow, 05 Oct 1738, Irvine, is assigned to this profile. The separate 1736 John entry remains an open source question despite the earlier child-profile merge.

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

Recommended action

Retain this record as evidence for the named parents and 1738 baptism. Compare the original 1736 and 1738 entries before deciding whether there were two sons.

Next records

Compare the original 1736 and 1738 Irvine entries and verify September versus October for the later birth. Then decide whether two profiles are needed. No automatic unmerge or new child creation is justified by conflicting indexes alone.

Live correction applied — 21 September 2026

Live Glasgow-3478: Added the sourced September/October 1738 birth conflict and marked the existing birth date uncertain. Retained 4 October 1738 as the current field value pending the original register; no merge, split or parent change was made. The save acknowledgement, public rendering and complete saved biography were verified. This correction is complete on WikiTree; the underlying research questions remain open.

'''John Glasgow''' was baptised at Irvine, Ayrshire, on 5 October 1738. His birth is given as 4 October 1738 in the MyHeritage-based account and as 4 September 1738 in the Findmypast transcript; the original register is needed to settle the month.<ref name="FMP1738">Findmypast, ''Scotland, Parish Births & Baptisms 1564–1929'', [https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=SCOT%2FOPR%2FBAP%2F3574782&tab=this SCOT/OPR/BAP/3574782], OPR 595/1: John Glasgow, birth 4 September 1738, baptism 5 October 1738, father Rot Glasgow, mother Mary Borland; transcript captured 3 September 2026.</ref> The register names his parents as Robert Glasgow and Mary Borland.<ref>MyHeritage, ''Scotland, Births and Baptisms, 1564–1950'', [https://www.myheritage.com/research/record-30226-305754/john-glasgow-in-scotland-births-baptisms record for John Glasgow], film 1041383.</ref>

A separate index entry of 10 October 1736 again names Robt Glasgow and Mary Borland as the parents of a John Glasgow at Irvine.<ref name="FMP1" /> The 1736 entry therefore probably records an earlier son of the same name who died young rather than this John, and the two entries should not be read as one child.

Both entries carry the same parent names; until the register image is compared, the 1736 entry is kept here as a caution against conflating two same-name siblings.

Research notes as originally written

Current conclusion

John Glasgow was baptised at Irvine, Ayrshire, on 5 October 1738, the son of Robert Glasgow and Mary Borland, according to a Findmypast transcript of the parish register; the transcript gives his birth as 4 September 1738, while the profile keeps 4 October, marked uncertain, until the original register is checked. His father is attached as Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-2474), baptised at Irvine in 1716, an identification that is a reasonable same-town, age-compatible inference rather than proof. A separate entry for a John baptised to the same parents on 10 October 1736 is unresolved: the originals must show whether there were two sons or an index error.

Current conclusion — father-profile merge, 27 September 2026

The attached father is now [Robert Glasgow (Glasgow-2474)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-2474), following the merge of Glasgow-3479 into the documented 1716 Irvine baptism profile. Robert and Mary Borland are named in the 1738 baptism index; the identification of that adult Robert with the 1716 child is a reasonable same-town, age-compatible inference. The separate 1736 John entry remains unresolved despite Glasgow-4118 already redirecting to this profile.

Current conclusion — Findmypast Glasgow surname evidence fmp-glasgow-ee0cb4e3aaad

The transcript-validated baptism record for **John Glasgow**, 05 Oct 1738, Irvine, is assigned to this profile. The separate 1736 John entry remains an open source question despite the earlier child-profile merge.

Current conclusion — two Irvine baptism entries, 21 September 2026

The surviving biography explicitly distinguishes the 10 October 1736 John from the later John; it has retained the earlier entry as a warning against conflation. The September batch's description of the merge as the same child is unsupported by the saved evidence. Two distinct register entries are reported, but originals must decide between successive same-name children and an index error before recreating or splitting profiles.
