About John

This profile probably conflates separate families. If the attached parents represent Robert and Catherine's son, the 1851 census places that man in America. The spouse-and-child reconstruction associated with County Armagh has not been connected to the Glenleslie household or to John-1022's resident nephew.

What the records show

Source findings

The free-space candidate comparison separates the 1851 Glenleslie nephew from this profile because the locations and family structures do not form one documented identity chain. No original record currently proves the displayed combination.

Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.

Recommended correction

HOLD all relationship changes. Build separate event timelines for the American man, the Armagh family and the unnamed Glenleslie nephew. Do not detach an attached person or location unless a sourced replacement is ready in the same edit.

Unresolved — the 1871 Omagh death index entry, 30 September 2026

The GRONI civil death index (search; supplied index, reference D/1871/209/1025/2/489) records a John Glasgow who died on 30 September 1871, aged 56, in Omagh registration district. This profile's reconstructed Armagh husband of Elizabeth Fee, born about 1813, is compatible with that age, but an 1882 Armagh death is a competing candidate. The American John of the Robert/Catherine family is separately Glasgow-4055 and does not exclude this profile. Grade: possible. Attach neither death until the original entry's residence, occupation and informant have been compared. Seen as an index only.

Recorded in research/queue-resolution-2026-09-30/older-records.json (30 September 2026); carried into this file on 7 October 2026.
