Katherine Glasgow

Current conclusion

Glasgow-3942 represents Katherin Glasgow, buried in the Church of Ireland
parish of St Audoen, Dublin, on 3 November 1713. The source supplies no age,
parents, spouse, address or occupation.

She was compared with Katherine Glasgow, lawful child of John Glasgow, sailor
in Saltcoats, named in his 1637 testament dative. No record bridges the Scottish
child to Dublin. A same-name burial 76 years later, without age, parents,
spouse, address or origin, is insufficient for identity. Glasgow-3942 is
excluded as the present match; a distinct Saltcoats creation draft is ready.
Do not attach Saltcoats parents or a Saltcoats birth place to Glasgow-3942
unless later positive evidence supports a merge.

| [IrishGenealogy.ie register image](https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/church/d-116-1-1-098.pdf), Church of Ireland, St Audoen, Dublin, p. 96, record DU-CI-BU-25141 | Katherin Glasgow was buried on 3 November 1713. No age, address, occupation or relative is captured. | Direct evidence for the Dublin burial; no Scottish identity evidence. The date should not automatically be treated as an exact death date. |

Isobell Gray was his widow. Katherine and Agnes Glasgow were expressly his lawful children. The record does not expressly call Isobell their mother. | Direct father–child and spouse evidence for the Saltcoats household; no Dublin continuation. |

Candidate and duplicate assessment

- **Chronologically possible comparison:** Glasgow-3942 has no known birth,
  parents or spouse, and a person alive in 1637 could have survived until 1713.
- **Evidence missing:** no St Audoen record found names John, Isobell Gray,
  Agnes, Saltcoats, Ardrossan, a sailor connection or Scottish origin.
- **Decision:** exclude Glasgow-3942 as the present match and create the
  record-defined Saltcoats Katherine. Name and theoretical longevity are not
  identity evidence; later positive evidence could justify a merge.
- The complete conditional creation draft is
  `../../research/Glasgow-4153/1637_Scotland_Saltcoats_Katherine_Glasgow.md`.

Recommended profile amendment

Use the complete draft in `Glasgow-3942.md`. Preserve the Dublin register
source, describe 3 November 1713 as the recorded burial date, and explain why
the Saltcoats child is not presently matched. Do not add John, Isobell, Agnes
or a Scottish birth location to the structured profile.

Unresolved priorities

1. Search St Audoen and nearby Dublin records for Katherin's age, spouse,
   residence, relatives and origin.
2. Search Saltcoats and Ardrossan kirk, property and maritime records for the
   later lives or marriages of Katherine and Agnes.
3. Resolve the identity only through a record that carries a relative,
   residence, occupation or migration connection between the two places.
