Andrew Glasgow
c. 1846 – before 1851
County Antrim, Ireland, United Kingdom
About Andrew
The 1851 Ballycregagh mortality return calls Andy Glasgow a deceased five-year- old son of James Glasgow. This implies birth about 1845/46, not 1820. The return does not supply a death year, only that he had died by 1851. Peggy Hamilton married James in 1848, making a stepmother relationship plausible, but the later marriage does not concretely exclude premarital maternity. Peggy is therefore retained as an uncertain mother; Mary of the 1847 workhouse family remains another leading candidate.

Current conclusion
The 1851 Ballycregagh mortality return calls Andy Glasgow a deceased five-year- old son of [[Glasgow-2981|James Glasgow]]. This implies birth about 1845/46, not 1820. The return does not supply a death year, only that he had died by 1851. Peggy Hamilton married James in 1848, making a stepmother relationship plausible, but the later marriage does not concretely exclude premarital maternity. Peggy is therefore retained as an uncertain mother; Mary of the 1847 workhouse family remains another leading candidate.
Source findings
- [1851 detailed census transcription](https://durrushistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/1851irishcensusreturnscommadelimitedtextfilejul24_071.pdf), Ballycregagh household 29 mortality schedule, Andy Glasgow, son, age five. - [FamilySearch family-tree entry for Andrew Glasgow](https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/4:1:MQ57-197), retained as a derivative source; it does not outweigh the census age.
Suggested correction
Change birth to about 1846 and death to before 1851; retain James as confident father and [[Hamilton-25516|Peggy Hamilton]] as uncertain mother.
