About James

James Glasgow, son of Robert Glasgow and Jonet Cunnyngham as indexed ('Rot. Glasgow'), is recorded in the Scotland's People index of Old Parish Register births and baptisms at Glasgow under 25 November 1645; the original register has not been inspected. The entry agrees with the existing account of him on the profile. Chronology permits him to be the James Glascho who was a Kilwaughter householder in 1669 (Glasgow-1081), but no record carries this child to Ireland, and the identity is graded open, low to moderate, with the two profiles kept separate.

What the records show

Source findingsSupplied OPR births and baptisms: row 32 — 10 September 2026

Scotland’s People, Old Parish Registers, births and baptisms; exact surname Glasgow through 1700, 127 supplied results. JAMES GLASGOW; indexed date 25/11/1645; Glasgow; parish 644 / 1, reference 40 / 56. Parents/other exactly as indexed: ROT. GLASGOW/JONET CUNNYNGHAM. Indexed gender: M.

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.

Identity and family

Identity assessment — possible identity with James Glascho of Kilwaughter (Glasgow-1081)

The chronology permits this 1645 Glasgow child to be the James Glascho who was a Kilwaughter householder in 1669 (Glasgow-1081), but no record carries the Scottish child to Ireland or names the Irish man's birthplace or parents. The relationship register grades the identity open, low-to-moderate. The two profiles must remain separate. Next proof targets: the original 1645 register entry, the Agnew holding succession, the 1666 subsidy roll and any probate substitute naming origin or kin. See research/Glasgow-1081/findings.md for the Irish side.

Recorded in surname-research/indexes/relationship-hypotheses.md (Glasgow-to-Kilwaughter reconstruction); carried into this file on 7 October 2026.
