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.

John was a bachelor farmer at Cross, Ballyclug, when he married Rachel Grey in

  1. The original certificate names his father as John Glasgow, farmer. His

1874 death return gives age sixty-five, occupation farmer and residence Cross; Michael Glasgow of Cross was present at death.

He is not the forty-year-old nephew in John Glasgow-1022's 1851 household, because that man was recorded as married since 1839. John Glasgow-1022 remains one possible father, but John Glasgow-1657, who was explicitly of Cross and died in 1836, is geographically stronger. Leave the parent field blank until a record distinguishes them.

Biography
John Glasgow was born about 1809 in County Antrim, Ireland. He was a farmer
at Cross in Ballyclug parish.

John married Rachel Grey on 11 September 1865. The original
certificate describes him as a full-age bachelor and farmer of Cross and names
his father as John Glasgow, farmer. Rachel was unmarried and also of Cross;
her father was Robert Grey, farmer. General Register Office of Ireland, civil marriage register (https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1865/11578/8260226.pdf), John Glasgow and Rachel Grey, 11 September 1865. 

Their son James Glasgow was born at Cross on 16 February 1871.
The birth register names John as a farmer and Rachel by her former surname
Gray. General Register Office of Ireland, civil birth register (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1871/03313/2214261.pdf), James Glasgow, 16 February 1871. 

John died at Cross on 27 January 1874, aged sixty-five. The register describes
him as a married farmer; Michael Glasgow of Cross was present at his death. General Register Office of Ireland, civil death register (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1874/020673/7253774.pdf), John Glasgow, 27 January 1874. 
Research Notes
The marriage proves that John's father was named John and was a farmer, but it
does not identify him uniquely. John Glasgow of Glenleslie is
one candidate. John Glasgow of Cross, who died in 1836, is a
geographically closer candidate.

This John was not the married forty-year-old nephew recorded in the Glenleslie
household in 1851. The census nephew was recorded as married since 1839, while
This man's 1865 certificate explicitly calls him a bachelor. 1851 Irish Census Returns: detailed comma-delimited transcription (https://durrushistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/1851irishcensusreturnscommadelimitedtextfilejul24_071.pdf), Glenleslie household 21. His parents remain blank pending further evidence.
