Comparison context
These child positions and checks are the subject details used to rank possible parents below.
Naming sequence used by the parentage model
Known-position checks: 0 support · 0 conflict. Ordinals retain unnamed children and recognise reused names.
Relationship comparison
Potential parents or duplicates
Compare scored leads with the subject details above—not proof.
No named children are recoverable, so child-naming analysis cannot be run.
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
The original 1766 Derryloran return proves that a Samuel Glasco was a householder at Gorteen. It does not give his age or parents, so it cannot by itself identify him as this profile or as a son of either currently proposed James Glasgow. The Samuel at Whitehill belongs to the separate adjacent parish of Kildress and must not be used as a second Derryloran occurrence.

Record-bearing passages
- Biography Samuel's birth about 1726 and death about 1824 are family-tree estimates. He is currently attached to James Glasgow and Margaret Rutherford as uncertain parents. Neither inspected 1766 return gives Samuel's age or parents, so those returns do not prove this parentage. Separate 1766 occurrences The original 1766 religious return for Derryloran parish names “Sam: Glasco” as a householder at Gorteen. National Archives of Ireland, IHP/1/665, original 1766 Derryloran religious return, Gorteen section, Virtual Record Treasury (https://virtualtreasury.ie/item/NAI-IHP-1-665). This is a possible match for this profile, but the return does not contain enough identifying information to establish that it was this Samuel. The same return separately records Glasgow households at Drumearn and Killycury; the William at Killycury may be William Glasgow, but that identification is also unproved.
- A different 1766 return, for the adjacent parish of Kildress, names a Samuel Glasgoe at Whitehill and James Glasgow at Corvanaghan. National Archives of Ireland, IHP/1/667, original 1766 Kildress religious return, Virtual Record Treasury (https://virtualtreasury.ie/item/NAI-IHP-1-667); RCB Library transcript, p. 176, image (https://by2022-prod.adaptcentre.ie/loris/RCBL_23_176.JPG/full/full/0/default.jpg). Whitehill is therefore a separate Kildress occurrence, not a second location for the Gorteen householder. No inspected record proves that the two Samuels were the same man. 1753 Drogheda namesake A 1753 probate-index occurrence names Samuel Glasgow with residence Drumgeerah in the Drogheda registry. It is chronologically compatible with this Samuel, but no migration, occupation or relationship identifies the Irish testator with this profile.
