About James

17 September 2026 — Craigavole deed. A 14 June 1895 Registry of Deeds assignment (registered 19 June 1895) records Fanny Garvan, spinster of Craigavole, parish Desertoghill, County Londonderry, assigning her yearly tenancy there (13a 2r 33p, held from the Mercers' Company at £6 15s) to James Garvan Glasgow, farmer of Lisnagaver, County Antrim, "in consideration of the natural love and affection of the said Fanny Garvan to the said James Garvan Glasgow" and his covenants; witnesses Robert Liddle, solicitor of Kilrea, and Hugh Scott, farmer of Craigavole. A deed made for natural love and affection normally records a close family bond, but the memorial does not name the relationship, so Fanny's kinship to James (sister? aunt? cousin? via his mother Margaret Garvin?) remains unproved. Craigavole sits in Desertoghill parish, about 15 km from Lisnagaver across the Bann; this is the first documentary link between James Garvan Glasgow and a Desertoghill Garvan holding. The reading rests on a saved FamilySearch full-text machine transcription, not yet a verified image reading, and contains obvious OCR errors ("Lisnagarver", signature-block "Gavan", a clause reading "the said Jane Garvan" where Fanny is expected). Source: FamilySearch Registry of Deeds film 008138538, image 325 of 653 (saved transcription: sources/deeds-fulltext-2026-09-17-continuation.json). Next records: a visual reading of the memorial at that image; Garvan entries in the Mercers' Company estate records for Craigavole; any Fanny Garvan birth, census or death record tying her to James Garvin, father of Margaret Garvin of Lisnagaver.

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

James Garvin Glasgow's parentage is now proved. His 1886 marriage names his father as John Glasgow, farmer, while the family gravestone erected by James names both his father John Glasgo and mother Margaret Garvin. The same memorial records an infant son, John Garvin. James died at Lisnagaver on 14 February 1918; his widow Eliza Ann registered the death.

What the records show

Source findings

Source	Finding	Assessment
Original marriage, 1 July 1886	James Garvin Glasgow, full-age bachelor farmer of Lisnagaver, was son of John Glasgow, farmer; Eliza Ann Aiken was daughter of William Aiken, farmer.	Direct father and spouse evidence.
Rasharkin Second Presbyterian gravestones	James erected the memorial to his father John and mother Margaret Garvin. It also names his infant son John Garvin, James's death in 1918 aged 67, and wife Elizabeth Ann's death in 1933.	Direct family memorial evidence.
1901 census, Lisnagaver house 33	James Garvin Glasgow, 49, and wife Eliza A, 51, formed the household.	Direct household continuity.
1911 census, Lisnagaver house 22	James and Eliza Ann were again recorded at Lisnagaver.	Direct household continuity; source retained from the live profile.
Original death, 14 February 1918	James Garvin Glasgow, married farmer aged 67, died of acute pneumonia; Eliza Ann Glasgow, widow, was present.	Direct death, occupation and spouse evidence.
FamilySearch deed transcription, 14 June 1895	Fanny Garvan of Craigavole, Desertoghill parish, assigned her Mercers' Company tenancy to James Garvan Glasgow of Lisnagaver for natural love and affection; registered 19 June 1895.	Machine transcription only; image reading pending. Supports a close Garvan family connection between James and the Craigavole Garvans, but names no relationship.

Source findings — marriage witnesses and widow's death, 7 October 2026

The 1 July 1886 Clough marriage (entry 62) was witnessed by Robert Aiken and Matilda Bell (original register). James's 1918 death is Dervock registrar's district, entry 165. The Rasharkin Second Presbyterian stone (2004 transcription) records "Elizabeth Ann", his widow Eliza Ann, as dying on 16 June 1933 aged 84; her PRONI will-calendar entry is cited in Glasgow-867's findings.

Recorded in research/Glasgow-2406/Glasgow-2406.md (19 August 2026); carried into this file on 7 October 2026.

Source findings — Land Purchase entry, 1893, and the 1918 administration (recorded 17 September 2026)

The Registry of Deeds Land Index for Lisnagaver, 1890–94 (1893, volume 168) lists "Glasgow James G" among the grantors in a Land Purchase vesting series with Wilson, Montgomery, John Elder, Wallace and Ross. This probably records James Garvin Glasgow as a purchasing tenant of his Lisnagaver holding in 1893. Only the index was seen; the vesting deed itself has not been read and may name the predecessor in title.

The PRONI Will Calendar records letters of administration of James Garvin Glasgow, late of Lisnagaver, farmer, who died on 14 February 1918, granted on 8 May 1918 to Eliza Ann Glasgow of Lisnagaver, widow (effects £310). Eliza Ann's own probate (of Tullynahinion, widow) was granted at Belfast on 17 July 1933 to Robert Andrew Aicken, farmer, and William Shaw, solicitor (effects £601 5s). Both were seen as calendar abstracts.

Identity and family

Relationship conclusion

John Glasgow-867 and Margaret Garvin-1831 are proved parents.
Eliza Ann Aiken-2081 is the proved wife.
Infant John Garvin Glasgow (Glasgow-4005) is a proved child from the family memorial. His new profile uses birth after 1886 and death before 1901 as explicit bounds, not exact event years.

== Research Notes ==
The family memorial uses the spelling '''Glasgo''' and calls James's wife
'''Elizabeth Ann'''. The civil marriage, censuses and death registration use
'''Glasgow''' and the shorter form '''Eliza Ann'''. The matching residence,
husband and dates identify the same couple.

Current conclusion

**17 September 2026 — Craigavole deed.** A 14 June 1895 Registry of Deeds
assignment (registered 19 June 1895) records **Fanny Garvan, spinster of
Craigavole, parish Desertoghill, County Londonderry**, assigning her yearly
tenancy there (13a 2r 33p, held from the Mercers' Company at £6 15s) to **James
Garvan Glasgow, farmer of Lisnagaver, County Antrim**, "in consideration of the
natural love and affection of the said Fanny Garvan to the said James Garvan
Glasgow" and his covenants; witnesses Robert Liddle, solicitor of Kilrea, and
Hugh Scott, farmer of Craigavole. A deed made for natural love and affection
normally records a close family bond, but the memorial does not name the
relationship, so Fanny's kinship to James (sister? aunt? cousin? via his mother
Margaret Garvin?) remains unproved. Craigavole sits in Desertoghill parish,
about 15 km from Lisnagaver across the Bann; this is the first documentary link
between James Garvan Glasgow and a Desertoghill Garvan holding. The reading
rests on a saved FamilySearch full-text machine transcription, not yet a
verified image reading, and contains obvious OCR errors ("Lisnagarver",
signature-block "Gavan", a clause reading "the said Jane Garvan" where Fanny is
expected). Source: [FamilySearch Registry of Deeds film 008138538, image 325
of 653](https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSK3-34C9-D) (saved
transcription: `sources/deeds-fulltext-2026-09-17-continuation.json`). Next
records: a visual reading of the memorial at that image; Garvan entries in the
Mercers' Company estate records for Craigavole; any Fanny Garvan birth, census
or death record tying her to James Garvin, father of Margaret Garvin of
Lisnagaver.

James Garvin Glasgow's parentage is now proved. His 1886 marriage names his
father as John Glasgow, farmer, while the family gravestone erected by James
names both his father John Glasgo and mother Margaret Garvin. The same memorial
records an infant son, John Garvin. James died at Lisnagaver on 14 February
1918; his widow Eliza Ann registered the death.

Relationship conclusion

- John `Glasgow-867` and Margaret `Garvin-1831` are proved parents.
- Eliza Ann `Aiken-2081` is the proved wife.
- Infant [John Garvin Glasgow (Glasgow-4005)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-4005)
  is a proved child from the family memorial. His new profile uses birth after
  1886 and death before 1901 as explicit bounds, not exact event years.

Source findings — marriage witnesses and widow's death, 7 October 2026

The [1 July 1886 Clough marriage](https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1886/10840/5957283.pdf) (entry 62) was witnessed by **Robert Aiken** and **Matilda Bell** (original register). James's [1918 death](https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/deaths_returns/deaths_1918/05197/4435754.pdf) is Dervock registrar's district, entry 165. The [Rasharkin Second Presbyterian stone](https://genealogy.torrens.org/BannValley/church/RasharkinP/graveyard.html) (2004 transcription) records "Elizabeth Ann", his widow Eliza Ann, as dying on **16 June 1933 aged 84**; her PRONI will-calendar entry is cited in [Glasgow-867](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-867)'s findings.

Recorded in `research/Glasgow-2406/Glasgow-2406.md` (19 August 2026); carried into this file on 7 October 2026.

Source findings — Land Purchase entry, 1893, and the 1918 administration (recorded 17 September 2026)

The [Registry of Deeds Land Index for Lisnagaver, 1890–94](https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSNH-Q98J-5) (1893, volume 168) lists **"Glasgow James G"** among the grantors in a Land Purchase vesting series with Wilson, Montgomery, John Elder, Wallace and Ross. This probably records James Garvin Glasgow as a purchasing tenant of his Lisnagaver holding in 1893. Only the index was seen; the vesting deed itself has not been read and may name the predecessor in title.

The PRONI Will Calendar records **letters of administration of James Garvin Glasgow, late of Lisnagaver, farmer, who died on 14 February 1918**, granted on 8 May 1918 to Eliza Ann Glasgow of Lisnagaver, widow (effects £310). Eliza Ann's own probate (of Tullynahinion, widow) was granted at Belfast on 17 July 1933 to Robert Andrew Aicken, farmer, and William Shaw, solicitor (effects £601 5s). Both were seen as calendar abstracts.

Recorded in `research/Glasgow-951/research-log-2026-09-17-live.md` (17 September 2026); carried into this file on 7 October 2026.
