Jane (Little) Glasgow
September 1825 – 2 December 1924
Craigs, Oritor, Derryloran, County Tyrone, Ireland
About Jane
Jane Little is linked on WikiTree, with uncertain status, as the mother of John George Glasgow (Glasgow-2542), who died in 1857, and Henry Little Glasgow (Glasgow-2131) of Cookstown. The newspaper notices of 1857 and 1897 concerning the two sons do not name their mother, so her motherhood is not proved; the sons' middle names, George, matching her father George Little, and Little, are suggestive only. Henry's 1866 birth registration is the record to check.
