About Robert
The 1851 Ballycregagh census directly calls Robert Glasgo, aged eleven months, a son of James Glasgow. His birth should be estimated about 1850, not 1840. James and Peggy Hamilton reported marrying in 1848; Peggy is therefore Robert's probable mother. The biography currently uses the wrong father ID, Glasgow-1377, and should link Glasgow-2981.
