Janet Glasgow

HOLD — compatible profile linked — The 1675 Polwarth index other-details TOD / WILLIAM GLASGOW leaves William’s role unknown. Todd-7464’s children have estimated birth years, including circa 1680; the inspected child biographies do not establish dated births after Janet’s 1675 burial, so those guesses do not exclude her. Glasgow-1104 and Glasgow-1522 remain possible under a natal-Glasgow reading; their established father links are already confident and William in this death entry is not reassigned as father. No record read links her to the 1656/1658 Polwarth children.

Record fields: Recorded name Janet Glasgow; surname Glasgow as written; born before 1675, exact date unknown; birthplace unknown; cited locations describe recorded events; death unknown unless expressly recorded below.

  • Todd-7464 — The 25 December 1675 Polwarth death/burial entry has other-details TOD / WILLIAM GLASGOW. The index may concern Janet Tod using Glasgow as a married surname, rather than a woman born Glasgow. Todd-7464 (Janet, estimatedabout 1650; later spouse Innes-1509, whose marriage date is absent) is a weak compatible Tod/Todd possibility, and Glasgow-1104 and Glasgow-1522 survive under a natal-Glasgow reading. Their other places or spouses do not themselves exclude them. Tod-587 is excluded because she is documented marrying David Philp in 1682, seven years after this death/burial. The index does not establish William as spouse, father or the Polwarth baptisms father; inspect the original before attaching any identity.

The death/burial index records Janet Glasgow on 1675-12-25 at Polwarth. Other-details field: TOD / WILLIAM GLASGOW.<ref>Scotland’s People: Old Parish Registers — deaths and burials: OPR 754/10 / 113; https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/. User-supplied official parish index; original register image uninspected. The combined index date does not by itself identify the precise event type. The index may identify Janet Tod and a spouse or associate William Glasgow. Tod as birth surname and the relationship to William require the original. Live searches found no compatible Janet profile. This does not identify William as the father of the 1656/1658 Polwarth children.</ref>
