Research Notes
ScotlandsPeople's Church of Scotland Old Parish Registers deaths-and-burials index contains a Duddingston entry dated 23 August 1641 for JON, with other indexed detail JON GLASGOW (parish 684, reference 60/24).[1]
The index does not state an age, residence, parent, spouse, occupation or cause. Its other-name field is preserved as indexed and does not establish a father or any other relationship. Whether the date denotes death, burial or another burial-related entry remains unresolved.
Two existing Duddingston children are possible matches: John Glasgow, recorded born 4 April 1639 to John Glasgow and Margaret Sluman, and John Glasgow, recorded born 11 January 1638 to John Glasgow and Helen Patoune. The name, parish and chronology do not distinguish them. Do not create another Jon Glasgow or attach the burial to either child until the original OPR entry is transcribed.
