What the research found
Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
PRONI T1959/3 provides a new but still derivative family-placement lead. Its undated and unsigned family letter says that the writer's paternal grandfather William Glasgow of Killycurragh and Miss Cunningham of Omagh had sons including Samuel, who remained in the house where his parents lived and died. This profile's reported circa-1800 birth and 1857 death at Killycurragh make him the strongest live candidate for that Samuel, but the online transcription does not by itself prove the profile identity or the proposed parents.
What the records show
Source findings
| Source | Finding | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Public transcription of PRONI T1959/3 | The letter writer says her Killycurragh grandfather married Miss Cunningham and that son Samuel remained in the parental house. | Strong exact-place and generation lead for this profile; original photocopy and an independent identity bridge still needed. |
Identity and family
Identity assessment — Irish newspaper extension,4 October 2026
Samuel Glasgow, farmer examined at Moneymore, is quoted on tenant right in 1845. This profile’s Killycurragh farmer and 1857 probate account, checked live4 October 2026, fits occupation/district/chronology but does not bridge to the witness. No family or residence change is warranted.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026
- Freeman’s Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser, 1845-03-19, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. Freeman's Journal, 19 Mar 1845 (images 1050103241 and 1380777866): Samuel Glasgow, a farmer examined at Moneymore by the Devon Commission, describes reclamation on Sir Thomas Staples's land in his neighbourhood. Glasgow-2054 is a possible candidate, with Glasgow-1698 equally compatible.

Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.
Recommended next records
HOLD all relationship changes. Inspect the original T1959/3 photocopy and find a record identifying Samuel's parents or siblings before attaching the Killycurragh family. Build Adelaide's documentary chain from civil, church, census and probate records, then compare the genetic match only after both descent paths are proved.
