About Hugh
Glasgow-3931 is the newly created profile for Tamlaght O'Crilly householder entry 1195 in 1740. The return proves a distinct adult Hugh but gives no townland, occupation or relationship. The return supplies no basis for attaching him as father of the unidentified placeholder Glasgow-3905. That tree-only relationship should be removed, and this man must stay separate from the second Hugh at entry 1272. Entry 1272 is sufficiently record-defined for a separate unconnected profile; it must not be merged into this one merely because the return lacks a townland.

Summary of the research
Overall conclusion
The Hugh named in the 1772 parish declaration cannot be assigned to this profile, entry 1272, Glasgow-548 or Glasgow-540. Preserve that later name only as an unassigned documentary-cluster occurrence unless a record with age, household, occupation or relatives supplies a bridge.
What the records show
Source findings
| Source | Finding | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| PRONI T808/15258, pp. 108–109; collector-order transcription | Two separate Hugh Glasgow householders appear at entries 1195 and 1272. | Direct evidence of two distinct households; no kinship or townland evidence. |
Source findingsFindmypast sweep — 7 October 2026
- Known record, Findmypast form only. Findmypast indexes this man and the second Hugh as Hugh (1) and Hugh (2) Glasgow, Tamlaghtocrilly, 1740 (
IRE/PRONI/1740PH/G/00359and/00360). The index has no townland or collector order and does not say which of the two is entry 1195; it adds nothing that separates the two men. - Searches that found nothing: no other Findmypast record names a Hugh Glasgow in Tamlaght O'Crilly or Inishrush after 1740.
Identity and family
Relationship action
- Remove Glasgow-3905 as this Hugh's child / remove Hugh-3931 as the placeholder's father.
- Do not infer Inishrush residence or a precise birth from a parish-wide return whose townland is unspecified.
- Keep entry 1272 as a separate, unconnected record-defined person.
- Do not add the 1772 declaration to this profile without identifying evidence.
Other research notes
Birth-estimate audit - 21 August 2026
The live structured birth was corrected to about 1720, uncertain. The 1740 Protestant return identifies Hugh as a householder but supplies no birth year. The earlier before value remains only a strict chronological boundary, not the most useful estimated birth. No biography, relationship, source or other structured field was changed in this audit.
Still open
Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.
Recommended correction — vital dates, 6 October 2026
Birth: about 1719 or earlier (estimate): he was a householder in the 1740 Protestant householders' return and is assumed to have been at least 21. A value of "about 1720" would make him a householder at 20.
These are proposals for the WikiTree date fields and are queued for review; nothing has been changed on WikiTree.

Current conclusion
Glasgow-3931 is the newly created profile for Tamlaght O'Crilly householder entry 1195 in 1740. The return proves a distinct adult Hugh but gives no townland, occupation or relationship. The return supplies no basis for attaching him as father of the unidentified placeholder Glasgow-3905. That tree-only relationship should be removed, and this man must stay separate from the second Hugh at entry 1272. Entry 1272 is sufficiently record-defined for a separate unconnected profile; it must not be merged into this one merely because the return lacks a townland. The Hugh named in the 1772 parish declaration cannot be assigned to this profile, entry 1272, [[Glasgow-548]] or [[Glasgow-540]]. Preserve that later name only as an unassigned documentary-cluster occurrence unless a record with age, household, occupation or relatives supplies a bridge.
