Biography and research notes
The 12 May 1886 marriage in the reviewed Second Portglenone account matches this existing profile: John is a Rasharkin grocer, his father is John Elder, farmer; his bride is Annie Patterson, aged 20, daughter of David Patterson, farmer. The public biography cites the same civil marriage and the 1901 Carnfinton household. The 1912 Rasharkin grocer/postmaster is compatible with this man; the 1842 John Elder–Peggy Stuart groom is a separate older subject, with Elder-7230 and Elder-4387 retained as candidates. No father–son bridge between the 1842 and 1886 men is established.
