What the records show
Source findings
Identity and family
Identity assessment
This man is distinct from Glasgow-2998, who was unmarried in 1901, and from Glasgow-2599, who had formed a family in Nova Scotia by 1876 while Anne remained a married weaver's wife at Liminary in 1877.
A widowed weaver named Hugh Glasgow died in the Ballymena district on 8 June 1889, aged 55. He is a strong candidate, but the death entry does not securely bridge him to the 1852 marriage, so that death remains unproved for this profile.
Other research notes
Family and residence
Anne died at Liminary on 14 March 1877. She was recorded as married and as a weaver's wife, demonstrating that this couple remained associated with Liminary. Nathaniel Glasgow was present at her death, but the register does not state his relationship.
