Conclusion: Current conclusion
Mary Ellen Glasgow (Glasgow-4269) is strongly identified with the child recorded in Ballymoney/Dirraw civil birth entry 214. The inspected original records 14 February 1867, Lisnagaver, County Antrim, Ireland, the child's given names Mary Ellen, mother Mary Glasgow, and informant Ann Glasgow, present at birth and resident at Lisnagaver. No father is entered.
The public profile currently gives Mary Glasgow, 17 February 1867, Ballymoney, Ireland. Its GRONI citation, U/1867/31/1005/2/214, points to the same district, year and numbered entry. The name, locality, month/year and entry number support identification with the original; no competing local February 1867 child was found in the recorded bounded searches. The date discrepancy concerns the identified registration and does not justify creating another child. Prefer the original's 14 February reading while preserving the index's 17 February claim explicitly.

Assessment: Relationships and unresolved questions
The mother is documented as Mary Glasgow, but her identification with Mary Glasgow (Glasgow-3167) remains a compatible hypothesis: that woman was a 28-year-old Lisnagaver spinster at her 1871 marriage. The informant is compatible with Ann Glasgow (Glasgow-438), whose known age and Lisnagaver associations fit 1867. The birth record neither identifies their parents nor describes Ann as Mary's sister. Keep these profile links qualified and do not attach a father or assert either proposed identification as certain.
The cause of the GRONI 17 February date remains unresolved. A direct GRONI image/reference cross-check would clarify the index discrepancy; it is not required to ignore the original's plainly written 14 February date.
