Elizabeth (Ferguson) Dougal

Biography
Elizabeth was born around 1812.
 Based on age at death 89 -- although death ages for this period can be very unreliable. 

She was the wife of Thomas Dougall (spelling varies).

Elizabeth passed away 20 Jan 1901 "age 89" at Killycurragh due to old age. She was the widow of a farmer , and the informant was "William Glasgow, son".

Research Notes
Maiden name
Two Marriage records of Elizabeth's Children state that her maiden name is Ferguson. The name Ferguson appears as second names of three of Elizabeth's grandchildren.
Glasgow - first husband?
One Daughter's death record states mother as Betty Glasgow.

Her death informant was "William Glasgow, son". The name William Glasgow appears as the death informant for her husband Thomas as well. 

Unless he was adopted, this strongly suggests that he is a son from a former marriage of Elizabeth. Another possibility would be son-in-law, but there are no other Glasgow-Dougal marriages in the civil registration besides her daughter Margaret.

There is only one William Glasgow in the census and/or civil registration that this could possibly be: William Glasgow (abt.1837-1924). He was living alone at Killycurragh as of the 1901 census (which was shortly after Elizabeth's death), but then moved to Clare.

Which would imply that Thomas Glasgow (bef.1815-) was her first husband. 

In support of this:
* James Ferguson (abt.1827-1916) funeral was attended by Richard Glasgow (grandson of said Thomas Glasgow) with relationship "nephew" listed 
Missing children
Margaret was described as the third daughter of this couple in news clippings, so we must be missing at least one child born before 1849 (unless those clippings were in error, of course).

This other child could have the maiden name Glasgow.
DNA
There is a 14.2cM single-segment match between descendant C.H. appearing in the DNA connections of this profile, and my father's test. We haven't identified a common ancestor, however Killycurragh is quite close to Dunmore, Lissan where my ancestors are from. 

I have an ancestor of the same name, Margaret (Ferguson) Graham (abt.1800-1882) from Ballynascreen, however given it was such a common surname we would need considerably more evidence to prove this is or isn't the connection.
