Alison Glasgow
DRAFT — no compatible profile found — The printed register identifies John Williamson as a cordiner in the 14 November 1672 Alison marriage. Father John Williamson-14320’s inspected child profiles preserve Kirkcaldy index entries with Christian Turpie in 1674, 1677 and 1680, plus their 1655 marriage and her 1690 death entry. This continuing named-couple sequence conflicts with identifying him as the Edinburgh Alison bridegroom and is a substantive competing-household exclusion, not merely another spouse’s name. Son Williamson-14321, baptised 1657, is still a compatible but young candidate with no child or occupation bridge. Alison remains without a compatible profile; the row’s spouse candidates must not change her own no-profile status. The printed page identifies George Cargill as bookseller and Alison as his bride on 11 March 1651. A nearby George Cargill, printer, marries Elspeth Orme in 1663; it is a second documentary occurrence and is not asserted to be the same husband. Newly completed Allison/Alesoun/Alisoun Glasgow and Alisone/Alice Glesgow API variants returned no historical Open candidate. Neither bookseller’s parentage nor Alison’s father is given here.

- Public existing-profile search and biography review completed 2026-09-30. Missing fields or an unproved extra bridge do not exclude a compatible person.
- Alison has an unqualified 27 November 1688 birth, with parents John Glasgow 1666 and Margaret Purvesabout 1670. This current family conflicts with 1651/1672 brides.
- Further source and existing-profile review completed 2026-09-30; retain compatible candidates unless a concrete conflict excludes them.
- Continuing John Williamson/Christian Turpie couple in dated Kirkcaldy birth-index entries 22 September 1674, 20 November 1677 and 30 May 1680 conflicts with an Edinburgh marriage to Alison on 14 November 1672. Their 1655 marriage and Christian’s 1690 burial contextualize the same family. This is a continuing competing-household sequence, not rejection solely for another spouse. The son Williamson-14321 is not excluded by his father’s records.
