James Glasgow

Biography
James was born about 1865. He may have been the son of James Glasgow and Rachel Bell. If so, he may have been born at Ballybriest where other children of that couple were born; although they were originally from Killycurragh, Tyrone, and did move back there later. 

He passed away 8 November 1938 at Kent, Ontario.

James Glasgow death 8 Nov 1938 (age 73), son of James Glasgow & Rashael Bell, in Kent, Ontario, Canada.
Research Notes
The death record names parents as James Glasgow + Rachel Bell. However, as there were (at least!) two couples James Glasgow + Rachel Bell, I would like to find something in the Canadian records that connects that James to these parents specifically.

There is a birth 4 June 1865 to those parents, at Ballybriest. However, if the 1901 census below is correct, he gives his birthdate as 14 February (and year 1867). Although ages in censuses were usually wrong, the day and month were often close to correct; but not always. So this suggests that James is perhaps NOT the 4 June 1865 birth (or that census isn't this James). Perhaps he is older than 1864, and reduced his age when emigrating.
