Margaret Glasgow

HOLD — compatible profile linked — Cambusnethan 1693 Margrat–John Aiton is separate from Walston 1690 Margaret–John Tailzer. Ayton-398 represents the Fawside/West Herrington Durham estate family and has an unnamed wife and a 1702 will; child Samuel Ayton-399 supplies no wife-name bridge. Distant residence alone does not exclude it. The direct 1643 Glasgow child index supports William/Bessie parentage only for that child record, not the Cambusnethan bride. Walston 1690 Margaret–John Tailzer is separate from the Cambusnethan 1693 Margaret–John Aiton event. The 1643 Glasgow baptism names William Glasgow/Bessie Howie and belongs to Glasgow-1524; the same date imported on Glasgow-3050 does not prove Thomas Glasgow/Agnes Thomsone parentage. Keep these as two profile identities. Taylor-32027 has an unsourced Fife placement and no wife/child bridge to this event.
