Hi Skoosh,


Very Funny

[ev]

As far as I know David and James did not have a brother George , although if he was from Dunnichen
they probably are related

George Glenn , discharged aged 28 , service 1809 - 1818 Royal Artillery

My line is also David Glen and Ann Donaldson through their son Alexander Glen(1827-1867)

The was an unknown Glen born Oct 1786, any idea what happened to him/her. there was also Charles 3/5/1795 and sister Elizabeth.

Down as male on the IGI
I suspect he may have been a stillborn child  , although I've never looked at the OPR on Scotlandspeople

Added - I don't have any more information on Charles or Elizabeth

"Oct.(1786) James Glen in Moss'side of Dunnichen and his spouse Jane(or Ann or Agnes) Salmond had a child Baptised ?"

OPR someone has posted.

I think that's unlikely. The OPRs mainly record baptisms, and a stillborn child, or a child that died before baptism, would not have been baptised at all. More likely that the clerk just forgot the name of the child, and wrote the rest of the record, intending to find and insert the child's name later.

Hi Forfarian 

I think you are correct , the male child was baptised.
The fact that the entry has no exact date given(just Oct. 1786) would also indicate it was an afterthought.

Born 10 months after the marriage a name would have been a clue to the grand parents, also the baptism says child , not male, could be female,its amazing how much or how little information can be given from one parish to another, places where they were living etc.
