Comparison context
These child positions and checks are the subject details used to rank possible parents below.
Naming sequence used by the parentage model
Known-position checks: 0 support · 0 conflict. Ordinals retain unnamed children and recognise reused names.
Relationship comparison
Potential parents or duplicates
Compare scored leads with the subject details above—not proof.
No named children are recoverable, so child-naming analysis cannot be run.
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.

Current conclusion
Henry is directly recorded at Inishrush on 11 December 1878, when he was present at the death of James Glasgow (Glasgow-3903). The civil return does not state Henry's relationship to James. No located marriage, death, census, land, church or emigration record names James as Henry's father. The WikiTree father edge is explicitly marked uncertain and should remain a research hypothesis rather than a proved relationship.
Henry's estimated 1850 birth and precise Inishrush birthplace are not supplied by the death return. They are working estimates only.
A focused search of publicly indexed material for 11 December 1878 through 22 January 1879 found no obituary, death notice or probate item for James naming Henry or any other relative. The search covered exact-name and Inishrush variants for the *Londonderry Sentinel*, *Londonderry Standard*, *Belfast News-Letter* and *Derry Journal*. Full searchable issue runs were not publicly available, so this is a coverage-qualified negative rather than proof that no notice was printed.

Source findings
| Source | Finding | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Original civil death return for James Glasgow, 11 December 1878 | James, married farmer of Inishrush, died aged 84; Henry Glasgow, Inishrush, was present at death. | Proves Henry's presence and close household or neighbourhood association. The qualification does not call him son, relative or heir. |
| Tamlaght O'Crilly Lower gravestone | The stone calls James the son of Adam and Rose and names William as their grandson. | Does not name Henry or identify William's father. It cannot prove Henry's relationship. |
PRONI VAL/12/B/34/10D | Plot 29 passed from an unidentified James to Rose Anne and later Adam. | Henry is not named and the valuation states no relationships. |
| Butler-Savannah Cemetery transcription | A Henry Glasgow born in Ireland in July 1848 was established with wife Amanda in Savannah, New York, and had a son there in January 1877. | Chronologically similar namesake, but his New York residence before James's death makes identity with the Inishrush informant less likely. His Irish parents and townland remain unknown. |

Tree recommendation
Do not describe Henry as a proved son of James. If the connection is retained on WikiTree, keep the father status uncertain and state that it rests solely on Henry being present at James's death.
