== Biography ==
'''Nancy Glasgow''' was born about 1810 or 1811. The surviving 1851 mortality schedule records her as a daughter of [John Glasgow](/people/glasgow-1022.html), aged 36 when she died of dysentery in 1847.[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''], Dunaghy parish, Glenleslie household 21.[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.

== Research Notes ==
The return names John as Nancy's father but does not identify her mother. John's wife [Rose Alexander](/people/alexander-16967.html) remains an uncertain mother; no sourced replacement has been found.

Recommended correction

Age 36 at death in 1847 implies birth about 1810/11, not 1815. Apply that sourced replacement rather than blanking the existing date. The record does not supply a birthplace or exact death date.
