Anyone want to verify a spurious Scotland profile for this week's Connection Combat?

Question

Anyone with Scottish research want to check on the "spurious" profile of Margaret Wallace Thompson? She's popping up quite a bit in the Underground Connections Combat as a link.

Answer 1

A Margaret Thomesone relict [widow] of John Wallace, maltman burgess of Glasgow, died before 10 January 1654 on which date her will was confirmed in Glasgow Commissary Court<ref>Will or Testament: "Wills and Testaments," database, National Records of Scotland, Reference Number: CC9/7/31, [https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ ScotlandsPeople] (accessed 22 February 2024), Surname: Thomesone; Forename: Margaret; Date: 10/1/1654; Description: relict of John Wallace, maltman, burgess of Glasgow; Type: TT; Court: Glasgow Commissary Court.</ref>

And a John Wallace, maltman, burgess of Glasgow died before 28 February 1650 when his will was confirmed in the Glasgow Commissary Court<ref>Will or Testament:  "Wills and Testaments," database, National Records of Scotland, Reference Number: CC9/7/30, [https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ ScotlandsPeople] (accessed 22 February 2024), Surname: Wallace; Forename: John; Date: 28/2/1650; Description: maltman, burgess of Glasgow; Type: TT; Court: Glasgow Commissary Court.

Margaret's supposed first husband Matthew Wallace of Craigie also looks problematic

I think for starts, I should remove the first husband.

definitely @Maggie N! I've marked his profile for review (at some point!) by the Scotland Project 

Answer 2

Yes!!!!!!!!! I would like to participate!

Answer 3

Using Scotland's people, I have added a marriage source in 1628, as well as combined the multiple sections for children, so there is one numbered list, with birth sources from Scotlands People.

I have not updated the linked children or spouse profile, since the sources could be easily copied into those profiles.
