Mary Thompson

before 1892

Research assessment:

Current position

Mary (Glasgow) Thompson (Glasgow-4093) is the thinnest of the sibling profiles: she is identified only by the 14 January 1892 probate citation of probable sister [[Glasgow-4070|Nancy Glasgow]], which lists "the children of Mary Thompson, whose names and places of residence are unknown" among Nancy's heirs and next of kin. Her LNAB Glasgow, parentage (father [[Glasgow-4090|John Glasgow, farmer]], uncertain) and even Irish residence are inferences. No dates or spouse forename should be added without a record.

Research notes and earlier assessments
Conclusion: Current conclusion

Mary (Glasgow) Thompson (Glasgow-4093) is the thinnest of the sibling profiles: she is identified only by the 14 January 1892 probate citation of probable sister Nancy Glasgow, which lists "the children of Mary Thompson, whose names and places of residence are unknown" among Nancy's heirs and next of kin. Her LNAB Glasgow, parentage (father John Glasgow, farmer, uncertain) and even Irish residence are inferences. No dates or spouse forename should be added without a record.

21 September 2026 — probate evidence audit. The citation establishes the named Mary Thompson child-group among the cited kin; sisterhood to Nancy is a probable interpretation, not an explicit relationship statement. Father John Glasgow is conditional on a shared paternal relationship with John-867, and identifying him with the 1796 Desertoghill flax-premium recipient is separately unproved. The citation cannot prove full siblinghood or an exhaustive family group. Retain this person as the citation-defined research subject; no automatic parent change follows. Provenance: Nancy's saved 23 January 1892 newspaper image, rechecked against the transcription. The petition/heir schedule is the next test.
