| Dates & places Joseph Glasgow executed his will on 2 April 1831 and was dead when it was presented on 11 April. The 11 April date is probate, so the record supports death between those events rather than an exact 11 April death. | Finding qualified Dated factual correction verified in the maintained 21 August review; the surviving reading is a named transcription, not a new original-manuscript inspection. |

| New records James Glasgow of Larne, tanner, and John Weir, notary, witnessed a Newtown mortgage dated 22 June 1778; James swore its affidavit at Larne on 29 June. | Finding qualified The occupational sequence supports the separate Larne tanner; identity with the monument man remains strong rather than proved. | Read the research → | |

| Family relationships The paired 1851 Ballycregagh census returns identify Peggy Hamilton as James Glasgow’s wife, Nancy and Jane Hamilton as her sisters, and Robert and Cathrin Hamilton as her parents. | Finding supported The living return names James’s wife and unmarried sisters-in-law; the mortality return identifies his father-in-law and mother-in-law. These first documented Hamilton family links are independent of Peggy’s still-uncertain maternity of the Glasgow children. The dated August review used the detailed census transcription; original image references are preserved in the family cases. Father relationship became certain Peggy Hamilton (Hamilton-25516) — father: Robert Hamilton (Hamilton-44031). Unknown → Certain. The living and mortality returns together establish the named family relationship. These are the first documented family links in the dated census review; no prior established parent or sibling identification is recorded in the case. Mother relationship became certain Peggy Hamilton (Hamilton-25516) — mother: Cathrin Hamilton (Unknown-764457). Unknown → Certain. The living and mortality returns together establish the named family relationship. These are the first documented family links in the dated census review; no prior established parent or sibling identification is recorded in the case. Sibling relationships became certain Nancy Hamilton (Hamilton-44032); Jane Hamilton (Hamilton-44033) — sibling: Peggy Hamilton (Hamilton-25516). Unknown → Certain. The living and mortality returns together establish the named family relationship. These are the first documented family links in the dated census review; no prior established parent or sibling identification is recorded in the case. |

| Life details John Glasgow’s 20 March 1847 manuscript letter attributes the Irish James Glasgow–Barkly news to McCaivey, rather than R. Mulhollan. Adam’s letter is dated 27 December 1846. | Finding qualified Complete original three-page letter inspected. McCaivey’s identity remains unresolved. Adam of Inishrush died in 1844 and cannot be that correspondent; no older-generation kinship is stated. | Read the research → | |
| Family relationships Daniel Glasgow of Kilrea’s original 1871 will calls David Glasgow of the City of London “my son”, proving David’s father through the matching London identity. | Finding supported The will resolves the earlier absence of a record naming David’s father. It does not name David’s mother; Margaret Irwin’s maternity remains uncertain. Historical discovery backfilled from the dated July case, not newly found today. Father relationship became certain David Glasgow (Glasgow-3899) — father: Daniel Glasgow (Glasgow-3896). Uncertain → Certain. The original will identifies David of London as Daniel’s son; David’s dated case says his father is now directly proved, superseding the former statement that no record named Daniel as his father. | Read the research → |
