Marjorie Glasgow
c. 1575 (inherited estimated date and place; the testament establishes neither a birth event nor Marjorie's birthplace)
Hirmanscheillis, Midlothian, Scotland
About Marjorie
The testament names Marjory as John Glasgow's lawful child. It does not establish her inherited c.1575 birth estimate or Hirmanscheillis location, a later identity, or Margaret Hutcheson's maternity.

What the research found
Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
The accepted human reading of John Glasgow's CC8/8/5 testament names
Katherine and Marjory (m[ar]iory) as John's lawful children and
executors-dative. The earlier model reading Androw/Andrew is superseded and is
not a competing current reading. The testament therefore supports Marjorie as a
named lawful child of
John Glasgow (Glasgow-3181).
The record does not establish a later adult identity, a birth or death date, or a birth/death place for Marjorie, and the possessive before lauchfull barnis is not securely distinguished as his or thair, so Margaret's maternity is not securely proved.
Because no evidenced replacement parents are available, retain the attached John Glasgow (Glasgow-3181) and Margaret Hutcheson (Hutcheson-1656), marking the father relationship proved and the mother relationship uncertain.

Identity and family
Relationship and identity assessment
- John Glasgow-3181: proved father in the testament's lawful-children clause.
- Margaret/Hutcheson-1656: documented widow of John; retain as an uncertain mother because the possessive before lauchfull barnis is unresolved.
- Katherine Glasgow-3590: a proved child in the same source household and a probable sibling; the record names them together.
- The superseded Andrew reading does not establish another child or an identity lead to Glasgow-3163. Do not rename or merge Marjorie to Andrew.
Duplicate audit — 8 September 2026
The complete John-household search establishes Glasgow-3589 as the profile created for the Marjorie reading. Do not merge or rename Glasgow-3589 to Andrew.
Still open
Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.
Recommended amendments
Correct the biography to the accepted Marjorie reading, retain both attached parents with the father proved and the mother uncertain, and keep the Norwich citation as an explicitly excluded lead. Do not delete attached parents unless a sourced replacement identity is established.
Unresolved priorities
Search for an independent record of a Marjorie Glasgow in this household to establish her later identity, dates and place.

Current conclusion
The accepted human reading of John Glasgow's `CC8/8/5` testament names Katherine and **Marjory** (`m[ar]iory`) as John's lawful children and executors-dative. The earlier model reading Androw/Andrew is superseded and is not a competing current reading. The testament therefore supports Marjorie as a named lawful child of [John Glasgow (Glasgow-3181)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3181). The record does not establish a later adult identity, a birth or death date, or a birth/death place for Marjorie, and the possessive before *lauchfull barnis* is not securely distinguished as *his* or *thair*, so Margaret's maternity is not securely proved. Because no evidenced replacement parents are available, retain the attached [John Glasgow (Glasgow-3181)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3181) and [Margaret Hutcheson (Hutcheson-1656)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hutcheson-1656), marking the father relationship proved and the mother relationship uncertain.

Relationship and identity assessment
- John Glasgow-3181: **proved father** in the testament's lawful-children clause. - Margaret/Hutcheson-1656: **documented widow** of John; retain as an **uncertain** mother because the possessive before *lauchfull barnis* is unresolved. - Katherine Glasgow-3590: a proved child in the same source household and a probable sibling; the record names them together. - The superseded Andrew reading does not establish another child or an identity lead to Glasgow-3163. Do not rename or merge Marjorie to Andrew.
