How parent leads are calculated

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.

How duplicate leads are calculated

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.

Current conclusion

Glasgow-1387 · updated 2026-08-11

William Glasgow-1387 is the William Glasgow, aged 40, recorded at Cloughgaldenagh house 1 in the surviving 1851 Dunaghy census. His wife was Ellin/Ellen, also 40, and the return explicitly records eight children. This is an existing profiled family, not a new unidentified branch.

The census does not name William's father. His current uncertain placement under Robert Glasgow-1367 may remain as a working attachment, but the record does not prove it and does not connect William to Robert, James or James junior in the 1825 Dunaghy tithe cluster.

Record-bearing passages

  • Biography William Glasgow was recorded as the 40-year-old head of house 1 at Cloughgaldenagh, Dunaghy, County Antrim, in the surviving 1851 census. He was a weaver, could read and write, and was living with his wife Ellin Glasgow, also aged 40 and a weaver. The return records County Antrim as their birthplace and 1831 as the year of their first marriage. “1851 Irish Census Returns,” Cloughgaldenagh house 1, Dunaghy, County Antrim, detailed public transcription, PDF (https://durrushistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/1851irishcensusreturnscommadelimitedtextfilejul24_071.pdf); see also National Archives of Ireland household page (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1851/Antrim/Killcondray/Dunaghy/Galdernaugh/1/) and FamilySearch QV9Y-WFJ7 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV9Y-WFJ7).
  • The household contained eight children, all recorded as born in County Antrim:
  • {| class="wikitable" style="background-color:#e6ffe6;" ! Child !! Age !! Census description |- | Jane Glasgow || 16 || Daughter; weaver |- | Ellin Glasgow || 14 || Daughter; weaver |- | William Glasgow || 12 || Son; not at school |- | Margaret Glasgow || 10 || Daughter; not at school |- | James Glasgow || 8 || Son; not at school |- | Betty Glasgow || 8 || Daughter; not at school |- | Robert Glasgow || 6 || Son; not at school |- | Adam Glasgow || 4 || Son; not at school |} Research Notes The census does not name William's father. His attachment to Robert Glasgow is therefore retained as uncertain and should not be treated as proved by the 1851 household.
  • The later Griffith's Valuation index for Dunaghy does not list William at Cloughgaldenagh. “Griffith's Valuation, North Mid Antrim,” Dunaghy index, PDF (https://www.billmacafee.com/1860griffiths/northmidantrimgriffiths.pdf). This negative finding does not establish his death, migration, or loss of tenancy. Sources
