Researched biography · Graham-21720
Jane (Graham) Glasgow
c. 31 July 1839 – 28 December 1891
Tamlaght, Cookstown, County Tyrone, Ireland
About Jane
The original Belfast death notice strongly identifies the existing Jane profile: the name, husband Robert Glasgow, death on 28 December 1891, age 51 and exact address 534 Gallowgate agree with the live biography checked on 4 October 2026. The notice adds a Rasharkin association for the couple. This supports their existing marriage; it is not a newly established parent relationship or a completed WikiTree edit.

| Belfast News-Letter, 6 January 1892, p.1 | Under GRAHAM: Jane Graham died 28 December at her residence, 534 Gallowgate, Glasgow, aged 51; wife of Robert Glasgow, “formerly of Rasharkin.” | Original enlarged passage inspected 4 October 2026. December 1891 is the preceding month. The location phrase follows Robert's name and should not be assigned exclusively to Jane. |

- Irish death notice: 'formerly of Rasharkin' (the phrase follows Robert's name and applies to the couple). — Belfast News-Letter, 6 Jan 1892 (newspapers.com image 388125998) (Belfast News-Letter, 1892-01-06, p.1)
Identity and family
Identity assessment
The combined name, spouse, exact address and death date are a strong match. Preserve the estimated birth: age 51 does not establish 31 July 1839 or any exact birthday. The notice names no parents or children. The existing parent and child grades are not upgraded from it. The earlier Lisnagaver neighbour report remains a separate identity question.
Still open
Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.
Priority actions
Add the newspaper citation and qualified Rasharkin association in a future additive profile amendment. Inspect the Scottish death original and the couple's original Scottish child births before resolving the wider Irish–Scottish identity bridge. No live save is authorized by this research assessment alone.

Suggested update to the WikiTree profile
This study has prepared revised text for the public WikiTree profile. WikiTree editors can compare it with the current profile and copy it; the research account above is the study's own.
Newspaper identity review 6 Oct 2026. Add sourced facts: Irish death notice: 'formerly of Rasharkin' (the phrase follows Robert's name and applies to the couple).
Compared with Graham-21720, captured 2026-08-07T09:54:35+00:00 · 2025-04-24. This amendment requires manual action in WikiTree; the comparison shows the saved biography and prepared replacement. Relationship, confidence and vital-field changes must be applied separately.

Current conclusion
The original Belfast death notice strongly identifies the existing Jane profile: the name, husband Robert Glasgow, death on 28 December 1891, age 51 and exact address 534 Gallowgate agree with the live biography checked on 4 October 2026. The notice adds a Rasharkin association for the couple. This supports their existing marriage; it is not a newly established parent relationship or a completed WikiTree edit.
