Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
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.

Current conclusion
John was a bachelor farmer at Cross, Ballyclug, when he married Rachel Grey in 1865. 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.
