People already attached as the subject's parents stay in the identity summary and are excluded from this alternative-candidate list, regardless of relationship confidence. The main calibration uses clues available on disconnected profiles; existing parent and sibling links are retained as comparison context rather than treated as transferable evidence. Common ordered names and grandparent-to-child echoes receive a small non-zero weight, so a John or James match can support several independent criteria without producing a lead alone. Rare names, repeated bearers and bundles across otherwise distinct branches receive substantially more weight according to catalogue frequency. An exact migration place is weighted by its rarity and repetition across both branches; a shared destination country is worth only one point. Extra weight is added only when at least three independent clue types converge: naming, locality, specific migration, household chronology or collateral networks. Sparse profiles retain a clearly labelled chronology-only fallback instead of disappearing. Countries, states, counties and research clusters do not count as a shared locality, and fallback, broad representative or kin-inferred coordinates are excluded from distance scoring. Shared descendant profiles are removed before branch-name comparison. A candidate already recorded as a parent-in-law is excluded. A confident or independently supported parent is treated as settled; uncertain and unassessed attachments remain open to alternative comparison. A different linked parent, an uncle/aunt or grandparent path, and a matching existing child profile prevent an alternative from being classified as a strong direct-parent lead until the underlying tree conflict or duplicate is resolved. Familiar forms such as Bessie are normalised. Surname remains an eligibility filter worth zero points.","warning":"Naming customs, shared farms and occupations are circumstantial. Children, spouses and collateral relatives may be missing, and tree-derived family networks are not independent evidence.

This is an uncertain estimate from his entry into an apprenticeship in 1690; his age was not recorded. His birthplace is unknown. Lindsayland in Biggar parish is usable only as an uncertain location inferred from his father's stated residence.\n\nOn 7 May 1690 James, son of the deceased James Glasgow, weaver in Lindsayland, was entered as apprentice to William Brown, a cordiner and tanner in Portsburgh and an Edinburgh burgess. The entry was scored out.<ref name=\"Apprentice1690\">Henry Paton, ed., [https://www.tradeshouselibrary.org/uploads/4/7/7/2/47723681/edinburgh_apprentices_~_1666_to_1700_~_1929.pdf ''Register of Apprentices of the City of Edinburgh, 1666–1700''] (Scottish Record Society, 1929), printed p. 37, entry dated 7 May 1690; see also Findmypast, [https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=SCOT%2FEDINBURGH%2FAPPRENTICES%2F0005159%2F1&tab=this transcript SCOT/EDINBURGH/APPRENTICES/0005159/1], captured 3 September 2026.</ref>\n\nThe scoring-out shows that this apprenticeship was cancelled or did not proceed in its entered form. It does not show that James died.\n\n== Research Notes ==\n\nThe father is probably the James Glasgow, weaver at Back of Lindsaylands, whose testament was registered in the Lanark Commissary Court on 10 November 1680.<ref>Francis J. Grant, ed., [https://www.tradeshouselibrary.org/uploads/4/7/7/2/47723681/the_commissariot_record_of_lanark__register_of_testaments_1595-1800_~_1903.pdf ''The Commissariot Record of Lanark: Register of Testaments, 1595–1800''] (Scottish Record Society, 1903), printed p. 38.</ref> The exact name, occupation, distinctive locality and prior death make that documentary identity strong, but the testament must be inspected before attaching a profile or naming the apprentice's mother.\n\nThis James is not the apprentice entered in 1696: the 1690 father was already dead, whereas the 1696 father was a living weaver and burgess. [[Glasgow-3076|James Glasgow]], born at Edinburgh in 1661, is excluded because his profile supplies no Lindsayland or correct-father bridge and he would have been unusually old for this entry.\n\n== Sources ==\n<references />","creation_allowed":true}}
