Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
The original birth return records Elizabeth Boyd Glasgow on 9 September 1889 at Tamlaght, daughter of Daniel Glasgow and Mary Jane Glasgow formerly Boyd. The 1901 census records Lizzie B. Glasgow as a niece of Hugh S. Boyd, and the Drimbolg memorial names Elizabeth Boyd Glasgow as niece of Hugh Scott and Joseph A. Boyd and records her death on 4 January 1933, aged 43. The combined records strongly identify the memorial woman with the registered child.

Evidence and reasoning
How is the memorial niece identified?
Her distinctive full name, Tamlaght birth, mother formerly Boyd, 1901 niece relationship and memorial niece wording form a continuous maternal-family chain.
Evidence and qualifications · 3 records
The original birth and census establish Elizabeth in Hugh Boyd's family; the memorial repeats her full name and niece relationship.
| Record | What it says | Why it matters | Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elizabeth Boyd Glasgow civil birth 9 September 1889 · Tamlaght, Kilrea registration district | Born 9 September 1889 at Tamlaght to Daniel Glasgow and Mary Jane formerly Boyd. | Direct birth and parent evidence. | None material to the registered date and parents. |
| Hugh S. Boyd household, Tamlaght house 2 31 March 1901 · Tamlaght, Kilrea, County Londonderry | Lizzie B. Glasgow, 11, was a niece of Hugh S. Boyd. | Direct maternal-family household evidence. | The absent parents are not named on the form. |
| Drimbolg Boyd family memorial, grave 1 17 September 1958 · Drimbolg Reformed Presbyterian graveyard | Elizabeth Boyd Glasgow, niece of Hugh Scott and Joseph A. Boyd, died 4 January 1933 aged 43. | Strong later-life identity evidence. | Published transcription rather than an inspected stone image or civil return. |
Limitations. The memorial is a transcription; no stone image or civil death entry was inspected.
Next evidence. An original death return could confirm place and informant but is not required for the current identity assessment.
