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.

How duplicate leads are calculated
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.

Record-bearing passages
- Biography John was the father of Samuel Glasgow (abt.1792-1865) , and Hugh Glasgow (abt.1805-abt.1900) of Gortin, Derryloran, County Tyrone. Hugh's burial application names father as "John Glasgow"; and Samuel's son Thomas names Hugh as an uncle.
- He was living in Gortin as of 1826. The only other tithe-payer of Gortin at this time was Martha Magowan, widow. Derryloran title apploment book 1826 - index accessed via CoTyroneIreland.com although there are other sources, PRONI carries the full images for some of these books.
- He was not in Griffith's Valuation suggesting he would have died before 1860 -- or perhaps emigrated to Canada?. Research Notes He may or may not be the same person as other WikiTree profiles for John Glasgow of the Cookstown area, such as John Glasgow (bef.1788-) -- we don't have enough information to say . At some point, Glasgows might have moved to Gortin from another townland.
- There is known to be at least one Glasgow headstone at the Derryloran old cemetery; perhaps there are others that have not yet been placed on Findagrave. Sarah Kermode Sarah (Glasgow) Kermode (abt.1826-1894) emigrated to Australia in 1842 "age 18" and her parents were Hugh and Margaret, with "Margaret still alive", and her origin "Gorten".
- Not sure where to place her just yet! The wording of "Margaret still alive" perhaps implies Hugh was not; but Hugh Glasgow (abt.1805-abt.1900) of Gortin was in fact still alive. Sarah MacNeece Glasgow Buried in the same plot in New Brunswick as his son Francis is "Sarah MacNeece Glasgow", who is "relict of John Glasgow" and born abt. 1780. .
- However that leads to a problem with ages: Samuel was born 1792 according to his age at death. So, maybe Samuel was younger, but then what about John Glasgow (abt.1815-1896) of Gortin whose age we already fudged from his "88" at death?
Further clues will be needed to figure all of this out. Hugo Glasgow Based on a DNA match (27cM unweighted / 2seg), Hugh Glasgow (abt.1831-) from Ireland to Nova Scotia could be a descendant. Derryloran parish records - Glasgows of Gortin Baptisms of children:
- bap. 28 May 1814 - Eliza HILL dau of John GLASGOW (Gurteen) + Sarah (Gortalowry) -- illegitimate. Gurteen might mean Gortin? ans so perhaps Eliza Hill is a daughter of this John?

Confirmations at Derryloran parish church, 1846:

- Thomas, Letitia and James would be the children of John's son Samuel (although not sure why there are no baptism records for those same children).
- We don't yet know if William, Sally and Margaret were also children of Samuel, or perhaps of another Glasgow family. The existence of Sarah (Glasgow) Kermode (abt.1826-1894) seems to suggest there might have been a family Hugh + Margaret also. Derryloran parish records - Glasgows The following records did not have a townland associated; so they may or may not be the Glasgows of Gortin:
bap. 21 Aug 1799: James GLASGOW, son of William + Mary.
- bap. 19 May 1811: Mary Anne DILLON , dau of John GLASGOW + Mary -- clandestine marriage.
- bap. 12 May 1812: David ALLEN, son of John GLASGOW + Isabella -- illegitimate.
- bap 16 Sep 1815: Margaret HILL, dau of John GLASGOW + Sarah -- illegitimate. Other records for Glasgows of Gortin The 1740 Protestant Householders had William Glasgow of Derryloran but no further information. The 1766 Religious Census had James Glasgow of Kildress. There is a 1775 Dissenter Petition from James Glasgow of Cookstown. (PRONI Names Index) DNA AncestryDNA: 11cM match between descendants of his grandchildren Letitia McCormick (Glasgow) Brown (abt.1828-1919) and Newton Glasgow (1843-1896); seen by McNabb-412 on 14 Feb 2023.

Derryloran parish records - Glasgows The following records did not have a townland associated; so they may or may not be the Glasgows of Gortin: * bap. 21 Aug 1799: James GLASGOW, son of William + Mary. * bap. 19 May 1811: Mary Anne DILLON , dau of John GLASGOW + Mary -- clandestine marriage. * bap. 12 May 1812: David ALLEN, son of John GLASGOW + Isabella -- illegitimate. * bap 16 Sep 1815: Margaret HILL, dau of John GLASGOW + Sarah -- illegitimate. Other records for Glasgows of Gortin The 1740 Protestant Householders had William Glasgow of Derryloran but no further information. The 1766 Religious Census had James Glasgow of Kildress.

== Biography ==
John was the father of [[Glasgow-2054|Samuel Glasgow (abt.1792-1865)]] , and [[Glasgow-2540|Hugh Glasgow (abt.1805-abt.1900)]] of Gortin, Derryloran, County Tyrone.
<ref>Hugh's burial application names father as "John Glasgow"; and Samuel's son Thomas names Hugh as an uncle.</ref>
He was living in Gortin as of 1826. The only other tithe-payer of Gortin at this time was Martha Magowan, widow.
<ref>Derryloran title apploment book 1826 - index accessed via CoTyroneIreland.com although there are other sources, PRONI carries the full images for some of these books.</ref>
He was not in Griffith's Valuation suggesting he would have died before 1860 -- or perhaps emigrated to Canada?.
== Research Notes ==
He may or may not be the same person as other WikiTree profiles for John Glasgow of the Cookstown area, such as [[Glasgow-2058|John Glasgow (bef.1788-)]] -- we don't have enough information to say . At some point, Glasgows might have moved to Gortin from another townland.
There is known to be at least one Glasgow headstone at the Derryloran old cemetery; perhaps there are others that have not yet been placed on Findagrave.
=== Sarah Kermode ===
[[Glasgow-1180|Sarah (Glasgow) Kermode (abt.1826-1894)]] emigrated to Australia in 1842 "age 18" and her parents were Hugh and Margaret, with "Margaret still alive", and her origin "Gorten".
Not sure where to place her just yet! The wording of "Margaret still alive" perhaps implies Hugh was not; but [[Glasgow-2540|Hugh Glasgow (abt.1805-abt.1900)]] of Gortin was in fact still alive.
=== Sarah MacNeece Glasgow ===
Buried in the same plot in New Brunswick as his son Francis is "Sarah MacNeece Glasgow", who is "relict of John Glasgow" and born abt. 1780. {{FindAGrave|220753408|sameas=no}}.
John's son Samuel has a son Thomas McNeice Glasgow too. The obvious answer to this would be that Sarah was this John's wife.
However that leads to a problem with ages: Samuel was born 1792 according to his age at death. So, maybe Samuel was younger, but then what about [[Glasgow-2537|John Glasgow (abt.1815-1896)]] of Gortin whose age we already fudged from his "88" at death?
Further clues will be needed to figure all of this out.
=== Hugo Glasgow ===
Based on a DNA match (27cM unweighted / 2seg), [[Glasgow-2599|Hugh Glasgow (abt.1831-)]] from Ireland to Nova Scotia could be a descendant.
=== Derryloran parish records - Glasgows of Gortin ===
Baptisms of children:
* bap. 28 May 1814 - Eliza HILL dau of John GLASGOW (Gurteen) + Sarah (Gortalowry) -- illegitimate. ''Gurteen'' might mean Gortin? ans so perhaps Eliza Hill is a daughter of this John?
* b. 12 Mar 1830 - Samuel CARROLL, illegitimate son of Hugh GLASGOW (late Gortin, now Cookstown) + Margaret (Gortin)
Confirmations at Derryloran parish church, 1843:
<ref>[[Space:The_Parish_Registers_of_Derryloran_parish_church|The Parish Registers of Derryloran parish church]] V2</ref>
* William Glasgow (age 21), Gortin
* [[Glasgow-212|James Glasgow]] (age 21), Gortin
* Sally Glasgow (age 17), Gortin
* [[Glasgow-2541|Letitia Glasgow]] (age 15), Gortin
Confirmations at Derryloran parish church, 1846:
* [[Glasgow-2538|Thomas Glasgow]] (age 14.5), Gortin
* Margaret Glasgow (age 15.5), Gortin.
Thomas, Letitia and James would be the children of John's son Samuel (although not sure why there are no baptism records for those same children).
We don't yet know if William, Sally and Margaret were also children of Samuel, or perhaps of another Glasgow family. The existence of [[Glasgow-1180|Sarah (Glasgow) Kermode (abt.1826-1894)]] seems to suggest there might have been a family Hugh + Margaret also.
