William Glasgow

before 1 December 1749

Kilbirnie, Ayrshire, Scotland

Current position

William Glasgow was baptised at Kilbirnie, Ayrshire, on 01 Dec 1749. The parish register names his father as John and his mother as Margarat. Because the entry records a baptism rather than a birth, his birth is placed before that date, and Kilbirnie is inferred from the baptism rather than independently recorded. The Findmypast transcript is the indexed source for this event. The live WikiTree profile records male sex at birth with uncertain status, inferred from the recorded given name. The cited transcript does not explicitly state sex.
