About John

The GRONI death index gives John Glasgow, aged 39, dying 23 August 1870 in the Magherafelt registration district (D/1870/183/1022/3/118). This is a good fit for John George Glasgow, born about 1831, whose profile has a year-only 1870 death in the Magherafelt area. The index does not give a middle name or exact death address, so a same-name alternative is not excluded by the table alone. The exact date 1870-08-23 was added to the live profile after review of this index evidence.
