Mary Glasgon Thomson

HOLD — compatible profile linked — The 1860 marriage index names the bride’s mother Mary Glasgon Thomson. Glasgow-4093, Nancy’s daughter Mary Thompson in the 1892 New York probate, remains a candidate without an Irish–Scottish household bridge. Glasgow-1351, Glasgow-1353, Glasgow-1453 and Glasgow-1531 also remain candidates; their Scottish baptismal families have no proved Robert Thomson marriage connection. Do not transfer a Tannybrake widow’s age or identify Nancy as this mother. The original marriage image requires a FamilySearch center or affiliate library and was not inspected.

Record fields: Mary, recorded Glasgon Thomson; female; exact birth, birthplace, parents and death unknown. Named mother of Mary Thomson and wife of Robert Thomson in the daughter’s 1860 index. No Irish birthplace or Nancy relationship is proved. All compatible candidates remain qualified.

Mary Thomson

HOLD — compatible profile linked — Mary Thomson, age 37, married William Sneddon on 9 November 1860; the fresh index names her parents Robert Thomson and Mary Glasgon Thomson. Thomson-3009 remains a disputed candidate because its estimated 1826 birth and James/Helen GEDCOM parents are unsupported. Thomson-13010 has record-based Andrew Thomson/Elizabeth Waddell parents and a distinct Abercrombie household, a concrete conflict with the indexed bride. Index parentage is not an existing-profile father upgrade, and the restricted original remains uninspected.

Record fields: Mary Thomson; female, estimated birth about 1822/23 from indexed age 37; birthplace unknown; marrying William Sneddon on 9 November 1860. Indexed father Robert Thomson and mother Mary Glasgon Thomson. Thomson-3009 remains a disputed candidate; death unknown.

Compatible WikiTree candidates

Thomson-3009 — Current public profile compared; Thomson-3009 has an unsourced 1826 Barony birth, no spouse or death, and a sparse GEDCOM biography. Its tree parents are James Thomson-3008 and Helen Strathearn-36, conflicting with the index parents Robert Thomson and Mary Glasgon. Those imported fields and a death record for Annie with maternal surname Strathern do not directly establish Mary’s own parentage or prove full siblinghood. Thomson-3009 therefore remains a disputed candidate. Thomson-13010 has different parents Andrew Thomson and Elizabeth Waddell in a birth citation, and a recorded Abercrombie household; it is a specifically conflicting identity. Profile birth 1826-00-00, death 0000-00-00; qualifiers retained in the review.

William Sneddon

HOLD — compatible profile linked — The fresh 1860 index identifies William Sneddon, age 45, widower and collier, with parents Robert Sneddon and Mary Gray Sneddon. Sneddon-710 remains a candidate: its Pencaitland coal-mining household and wife Mary Wilson allow a later widowed marriage. However, age 30 in 1841 normally means 30–34, implying birth about 1806–1811 rather than the 1860 estimate of 1815. This is a material discrepancy. No record joins the indexed parents to Sneddon-710. Obtain the 1851/1861 census, first wife’s death and accessible original; do not attach Sneddon-92, whose recorded wife was Mary Snaddon, daughter of Richard Snaddon and Mary Hoggan.

Record fields: William Sneddon; male, estimated birth about 1814/15 from indexed age 45; birthplace unknown. Widowed collier marrying Mary Thomson on 9 November 1860. Indexed parents Robert Sneddon and Mary Gray; earlier wife and death unknown. Sneddon-710 remains a candidate with an age discrepancy.

Sneddon-710 — Current public profile compared; The complete 1,359-result search found Sneddon-710: William, age 30, coal miner at Huntlaw Colliery, Pencaitland in 1841, Scottish birth, spouse Mary Wilson and death unknown. The 1860 bridegroom was a widowed collier aged 45. Occupation and chronology permit a later marriage after Mary Wilson. The profile’s 1811 birth comes from census age, not a verified birth. Its difference from the marriage-derived 1815 needs comparison but is not a conclusive exclusion. Sneddon-756 is a father in 1823, which materially conflicts with the indexed 1815 birth range; Sneddon-765 was born in 1828. Sneddon-625’s verified 1820 birth also disagrees with age 45 in 1860. Profile birth 1811-00-00, death 0000-00-00; qualifiers retained in the review.
