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.

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.

Biography
Henry George was born 17 Oct 1867 at Ballybriest. He is the son of James Glasgow and Rachel Bell. 

They moved to Montober by 1911.

In October 1927 he gave up farming due to ill health. The farm was approximately 45 acres in the townland of Orritor , about two miles from Cookstown.
 "Orritor, Cookstown. Complete Clearance Sale of Valuable Farm of Land" (https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0002006/19271001/052/0004), Mid-Ulster Mail - Saturday 01 October 1927, Page 4 

He passed away 24 December 1927.
 "Glasgow Henry George of Orritor Cookstown county Tyrone farmer died 24 December 1927 Probate Londonderry 16 April to John Todd merchant. Effects £10 15s." 
On 21 Jan 1928, executors of the late Henry G. Glasgow of Orritor offered his farm for sale.
 "Auctioneer - Summary" (https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0002006/19280121/083/0004), Mid-Ulster Mail - Saturday 21 January 1928, Page 4 
Research Notes
The birth record says "George" whereas censuses say Henry George.

The 1911 census rules out him being the same person as Henry Glasgow (1872-1956) -- even though the latter also has Montober as a residence and James as a father.

In newspaper clippings there are two "Henry G Glasgow". Henry G Glasgow (1891-) is one of them, and so I have identified this profile with the one described as "Henry G Glasgow, Orritor" in the Mid-Ulster Mail.

No civil death found to match the will calendar entry.
