The detailed 1851 return adds several facts absent from Rose's sparse biography: she was John Glasgow's wife, aged 80, born in County Antrim, able to read, and reported 1791 as her first-marriage year. It does not identify her parents or state that she was mother of John's adult children.

== Biography ==
'''Rose Alexander''' was born about 1770 or 1771 in County Antrim, Ireland. In the detailed 1851 census return she was recorded at Glenleslie, Dunaghy parish, as the 80-year-old wife of [[Glasgow-1022|John Glasgow]]. She could read, and both spouses reported 1791 as the year of their first marriage.<ref name="Glenleslie1851">[https://durrushistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/1851irishcensusreturnscommadelimitedtextfilejul24_071.pdf ''1851 Irish Census Returns: detailed comma-delimited transcription''], Glenleslie household 21, pp. 103–104.</ref><ref name="Kilconway1851">[https://www.billmacafee.com/census/1851censuskilconway.pdf William Macafee and W. Scott, ''1851 Census for some Parishes and Townlands in the Barony of Kilconway, Co. Antrim''], Glenleslie household 21.</ref>
William Alexander was recorded in the household as John's brother-in-law. This supports an Alexander connection but does not identify Rose's parents or the precise kinship route.<ref name="Kilconway1851" />
== Research Notes ==
The return identifies John as the father of Nancy, Andrew and Ellen Glasgow but does not identify their mother. Rose's maternity of each attached child should therefore remain uncertain. The suggested descent from [[Alexander-2237|John Alexander]] through William King Alexander is not supported by the inspected census and should be presented only as an unproved research hypothesis.

At a glance
Tree links organise the family; documentary status still varies.
Comparison context
These child positions and checks are the subject details used to rank possible parents below.
Naming sequence used by the parentage model
Known-position checks: 0 support · 1 conflict. Ordinals retain unnamed children and recognise reused names.
Relationship comparison
Compare scored leads with the subject details above—not proof.
No candidate met the minimum age, location or family-naming threshold.
Automated leads use birth surnames—not married surnames—as parental eligibility, role-specific biological age limits, bounded and approximate-date uncertainty, household chronology, specific time-aware localities, mapped distance, tenancy succession, migration destinations and sex-aware Scottish naming positions across generations. People already attached as the subject's parents stay in the identity summary and are excluded from this alternative-candidate list, regardless of relationship confidence. The main calibration uses clues available on disconnected profiles; existing parent and sibling links are retained as comparison context rather than treated as transferable evidence. Common ordered names and grandparent-to-child echoes receive a small non-zero weight, so a John or James match can support several independent criteria without producing a lead alone. Rare names, repeated bearers and bundles across otherwise distinct branches receive substantially more weight according to catalogue frequency. An exact migration place is weighted by its rarity and repetition across both branches; a shared destination country is worth only one point. Extra weight is added only when at least three independent clue types converge: naming, locality, specific migration, household chronology or collateral networks. Sparse profiles retain a clearly labelled chronology-only fallback instead of disappearing. Countries, states, counties and research clusters do not count as a shared locality, and fallback, broad representative or kin-inferred coordinates are excluded from distance scoring. Shared descendant profiles are removed before branch-name comparison. A candidate already recorded as a parent-in-law is excluded. A confident or independently supported parent is treated as settled; uncertain and unassessed attachments remain open to alternative comparison. A different linked parent, an uncle/aunt or grandparent path, and a matching existing child profile prevent an alternative from being classified as a strong direct-parent lead until the underlying tree conflict or duplicate is resolved. Familiar forms such as Bessie are normalised. Surname remains an eligibility filter worth zero points.
Naming customs, shared farms and occupations are circumstantial. Children, spouses and collateral relatives may be missing, and tree-derived family networks are not independent evidence. Scores rank research leads; they do not prove parentage.
No sufficiently similar same-name person is currently indexed.
Dates are eligibility gates, not merely deductions: chronologically impossible people are excluded. Dates, places, spouses, parent certainty and children's profiles and names are then compared. A high score is a prompt to inspect records, not a merge recommendation.

Biography Rose Alexander was born about 1770 or 1771 in County Antrim, Ireland. In the detailed 1851 census return she was recorded at Glenleslie, Dunaghy parish, as the 80-year-old wife of John Glasgow. She could read, and both spouses reported 1791 as the year of their first marriage. 1851 Irish Census Returns: detailed comma-delimited transcription (https://durrushistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/1851irishcensusreturnscommadelimitedtextfilejul24_071.pdf), Glenleslie household 21, pp. 103–104. William Macafee and W. Scott, 1851 Census for some Parishes and Townlands in the Barony of Kilconway, Co. Antrim (https://www.billmacafee.com/census/1851censuskilconway.pdf), Glenleslie household 21. William Alexander was recorded in the household as John's brother-in-law. This supports an Alexander connection but does not identify Rose's parents or the precise kinship route. Research Notes The return identifies John as the father of Nancy, Andrew and Ellen Glasgow but does not identify their mother. Rose's maternity of each attached child therefore remains uncertain. Earlier notes suggested descent from John Alexander through William King Alexander and noted Alexander-2026's marriage to Margaret Glasson. No inspected source connects Rose to either line. The household was formerly cited through the National Archives of Ireland census item URL (https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1851/Antrim/Kilconway/Dunaghy/Glenleslie/21/).
