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.

James belongs in a Derryloran research complex, not a two-person standalone. The 1740 return contains two James and two William Glasgow households in the parish, but it does not identify this James or name his children.

Identity reassessment

Glasgow-2988

The 1766 Corvanaghan occurrence cannot uniquely identify this profile. The original Kildress return is National Archives of Ireland IHP/1/667, not the Derryloran return IHP/1/665. It names Protestant householder James Glasgow at Corvanaghan and supplies no age, wife, children or occupation. WikiTree already represents that record with Glasgow-3137.

Glasgow-2988 may be the same man as Glasgow-3137, but the profile's c.1720 birth, Derryloran/Cookstown placement and attached sons Glasgow-2989 and Glasgow-2990 are not established by the Kildress return.

Glasgow-2988 is also a credible possible duplicate of Glasgow-1024, the profile representing the reported father “James Glasgow of Moneymore.” Corvanaghan lies about nine miles west of Moneymore, the chronology is compatible, and no post-1766 Irish record has been identified for the Corvanaghan householder. These facts prevent exclusion but do not establish identity.

The 1826 Kildress tithe list includes David and John Glasgow at Muntober, John at Whitehill and William at Oritor, but no Glasgow occupier at Corvanaghan. The gap of sixty years means this cannot distinguish migration from death, movement within Ireland or loss of a tenancy.

Current conclusion: do not treat Glasgow-2988 as the proven Corvanaghan householder or as the proven father of James and John. Mark Glasgow-1024, Glasgow-3137 and Glasgow-1970 as possible duplicates requiring source-level resolution.

Duplicate resolution

Glasgow-2988

Glasgow-3137 was merged into this profile on 20 August 2026. Both profiles represented the Protestant James Glasgow at Corvanaghan in the 1766 Kildress return. The merged biography preserves the original return and its direct archive links. The c.1720 birth, Derryloran origin and attached sons remain uncertain; they are not supplied by the census.

The 1740 Protestant householders' return for Derryloran names two James Glasgow householders and two William Glasgow householders, but gives no townlands, ages or relationships. It cannot identify this profile as either James.<ref name="Derryloran1740">W. Macafee, [https://www.billmacafee.com/1740returns/1740religiousreturnsulstername.pdf ''1740 Protestant Householders' Return'', County Tyrone entries 14391, 14393, 14466 and 14571], PDF p. 119.</ref>

The original 1766 Kildress religious return separately names a Protestant householder James Glasgow at Corvanaghan.<ref name="Kildress1766">National Archives of Ireland, Parliamentary Return 667, 1766 religious census for Kildress, IHP/1/667, [https://virtualtreasury.ie/item/NAI-IHP-1-667 Virtual Treasury catalogue and original return]; [https://by2022-prod.adaptcentre.ie/loris/RCBL_23_176.JPG/full/full/0/default.jpg RCB Library MS 23 transcript, p. 176].</ref> That occurrence is represented by [[Glasgow-3137|Glasgow-3137]]. This profile may represent the same man, but the return does not establish the identity.

== Research Notes ==

=== Family relationships ===

The attached sons [[Glasgow-2989|James]] and [[Glasgow-2990|John]] are marked uncertain. No located record identifies either man as a son of this James. The 1766 Derryloran return names two men called James Glasgo and one John Glasgo at Drumearn, but supplies no ages or relationships.<ref name="Derryloran1766">National Archives of Ireland, Parliamentary Return 665, 1766 religious census for Derryloran, IHP/1/665, [https://virtualtreasury.ie/item/NAI-IHP-1-665 Virtual Treasury catalogue and original return].</ref>

=== Possible duplicates ===

This profile is a possible duplicate of [[Glasgow-3137|the 1766 Corvanaghan householder]] and [[Glasgow-1024|James Glasgow of Moneymore]]. The estimated generation and local geography are compatible, and no later Irish record has been identified for the Corvanaghan man. No source connects this profile to Mary Harkness, Robert, Arthur, Joseph, the 1770 compiled immigration entry or the 1804 Pennsylvania naturalisation index.

[[Glasgow-1025|James Glasgow of Drumearn]] should remain separate. A 1759 estate or probate index associated with that man predates the 1766 householders. [[Glasgow-4024|James Glasgow of Cookstown]], buried in 1831 aged 40, belongs to a later generation.

=== Later same-name probate occurrences ===
Irish probate indexes name James Glasgow at Drummond, County Tyrone, in 1794. The locality and chronology make this relevant to the Derryloran research complex, but several James profiles remain compatible and the index supplies no relationship or occupation. It is not assigned to this profile as a proved event.<ref>[https://apps.proni.gov.uk/ProniNames_IE/SearchPage.aspx Underlying record source: james glasgow drummond 1794].</ref>
