Newspaper evidence: career, family and identity
At Surat, East Indies, the wife of Rev. James Glasgow, Presbyterian Church in Ireland missionary, gave birth to a daughter on 22 February, reported on 11 April 1848. The child is unnamed; Annie Coulson Glasgow-2901, whose checked profile gives 1848 in India, is a compatible candidate.
1848 is inferred from the contemporary notice’s February date. Neither child nor mother is named. The notice cannot alone make Annie’s exact birth date/place certain or establish Mary Wightman’s motherhood of another child. Her existing father/mother connections are not changed.
