County Antrim, Ireland, United Kingdom
About Boyd
The 1847 workhouse return records Boyd Glasgow, 12, of Glenleslie. The 1851 Ballycregagh mortality return calls Boyde Glasgow a son of James Glasgow, age 16, who died in winter 1847. Peggy Hamilton's later marriage means her maternity is unproved but not impossible. Mary in the workhouse group is the stronger candidate; retain Peggy uncertain until a better replacement can be attached.

What the records show
Source findings
- Ballymena Workhouse admissions, registration 4407, Boyd Glasgow, age 12.
- 1851 detailed census transcription, Ballycregagh household 29 mortality schedule, Boyde Glasgow, son, age 16, died winter 1847.
Source findings — workhouse admission and discharge dates, 7 October 2026
Macafee's transcription of the Ballymena Workhouse admissions (registration 4407) gives Boyd's admission from Glenleslie on 3 June 1847, aged twelve, with Mary, William James, Mary Jane and Margaret Glasgow, and records him discharged alive on 31 July 1847. Seen as a transcription; original register not seen. With the 1851 mortality return ("died winter 1847"), this places his death after 31 July 1847, probably in the winter of 1847–48 (inference; the census phrase does not say which winter months).
