Conclusion: Current conclusion

John Glassfuird, an Edinburgh slater, is distinct from Rev. John Glasford of Kilwinning (Glassford-289). He was probably the apprentice recorded in 1613 as son of the late John Glassfuird, miller at Dalry mills: the apprentice's master was Walter Murriall, slater, and the 1619 bridegroom was himself a slater marrying Janet or Jonet Murriell.

The seven Edinburgh children formerly attached to the minister are now assigned provisionally to this household. Original baptism images remain to be checked for occupation, residence and witnesses.
