About George

George's 1851 household was Glenleslie house 20; John Glasgow-1022 and Rose were at house 21. George's wife Sarah Alexander and John's wife Rose Alexander place both families in the same local Glasgow-Alexander network. The record does not state that the two women were related.

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

John is therefore the leading candidate for George's father, but the relationship is not proved. Keep it uncertain or leave George parentless. Do not move George under Adam Glasgow-3902 because his fifth child/fourth son was named Adam; household placement is materially better evidence than that naming pattern.

What the records show

Source findings

Source	Finding	Assessment
Bill MacAfee, 1851 Kilconway census transcription, Glenleslie houses 20-21	George, 36, linen weaver, lived with wife Sarah, 40, and children William, 12; Thomas, 10; Mary, 8; George, 7; and Adam, 2. The next household was John and Rose Glasgow and included John's brother-in-law William Alexander and a different visiting Sarah Alexander.	Direct household evidence for George, Sarah and their five children; strong shared-community evidence for John-1022 as a possible father, but no parent-child statement or relationship between the two Sarahs.

Current conclusion

George's 1851 household was Glenleslie house 20; John `Glasgow-1022` and Rose
were at house 21. George's wife Sarah Alexander and John's wife Rose Alexander
place both families in the same local Glasgow-Alexander network. The record
does not state that the two women were related.

John is therefore the leading candidate for George's father, but the relationship
is not proved. Keep it uncertain or leave George parentless. Do not move George
under Adam `Glasgow-3902` because his fifth child/fourth son was named Adam;
household placement is materially better evidence than that naming pattern.
