GRONI marriage index, James Glasgow and Boyd, 23 October 1894, Ballymena, M/1894/H1/211/9/60. The profile links his wife Elizabeth Boyd (Boyd-18532); their 1901 household and son's birth are cited there.

Identity and family

Identity assessment

The 1869 birth entry was formerly cited on this profile and was removed after comparison with the sourced 1871 birth. The 1894 marriage is now stated in the live biography with the index citation.

Still open

Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.

Next question

The marriage return may supply additional family details if it becomes available; the index itself names only Boyd as the other party's surname.
