The 14 January 1842 marriage notice directly identifies John Kyle of Tyanee as the husband of Nancy, sixth daughter of Adam Glasgow of Inishrush. No record reviewed here supplies John's age, parents, occupation, children or later life. He remains separate from later Portglenone-area men of the same name unless a record also identifies wife Nancy Glasgow or the 1842 marriage.

Higher-signal leadReview carefullyWeak lead
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.
No sufficiently similar same-name person is currently indexed.
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.

== Biography ==
+ '''John Kyle''' was of Tyanee when he married [[Glasgow-3907|Nancy Glasgow]] on 14 January 1842. A contemporary newspaper notice describes Nancy as the sixth daughter of [[Glasgow-3902|Adam Glasgow]] of Inishrush.<ref name="Marriage1842">''Londonderry Standard'', notice republished in [https://cotyrone.com/~inthenews/marriages-notices-1840-42/ ''Marriage Notices 1840–42''], marriage of John Kyle of Tyanee and Nancy, sixth daughter of Adam Glasgow of Inishrush, 14 January 1842.</ref>
- John was born about 1822.
+ == Research Notes ==
+ === Current evidence assessment ===
+
+ The marriage notice gives no age or birth year for John. His birth can be stated only as before 14 January 1842 and should remain uncertain. Tyanee was his residence at marriage, not proof of his birthplace.
+
+ No inspected record identifies John's parents, occupation, children or later life. He should remain distinct from other Portglenone-area men of the same name unless a record also identifies wife Nancy or the 1842 marriage.
+
+ The Tamlaght O'Crilly graveyard account documents Nancy's family of origin but does not name John or support the former estimated birth year.<ref>[https://www.oneirishrover.com/tamlaght-graveyard/ ''Tamlaght O'Crilly Lower Graveyard''], Glasgow family monument transcription.</ref>
