Current profile7The St Luran, Derryloran parish register records a James Glasgow, son of William and Mary Glasgow, baptised on 21 August 1799.<ref name="baptism">Representative Church Body Library, ''Derryloran Parish Register, Volume 1'', [https://www.churchofireland.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/AngRecord/DerryloranVol1.pdf#page=11 published transcription, p. 3], accessed 17 July 2026.</ref> This is a strong candidate for this James. His later marriage record independently names his father as William Glasgow, farmer, while his recorded ages in 1851 and 1882 both indicate a birth about 1799. The baptism gives no place of residence, however, so the identification is probable rather than conclusive.

Current profile21The available records do not establish that James's father was specifically [[Glasgow-2915|William Glasgow (abt.1760-)]], whose profile reportedly claims a Scottish origin based only on an online family tree.

Current profile23The former attachment of Margaret Mitchell as James's mother is unsupported by an original record and conflicts with the strong baptism candidate naming his mother as Mary. Margaret Mitchell should therefore not be treated as James's mother without further evidence.

Current profile29Nancy's 1911 census return states that she had five children, of whom three were still living. Two of the surviving children are believed to have been Margaret Jane and Thomas, leaving one surviving child of Nancy not yet identified. Marriage records for people surnamed Glasgow who named their father as James may help identify that child.

Her residence was recorded as Killycurragh, however, so this is not sufficient evidence to identify her as a daughter of this James.

Current profile41[[Glasgow-1795|Thomas Glasgow (abt.1860-aft.1935)]] is identified as a son of Nancy through census evidence. Thomas was also the informant at the deaths of both this James and James's son James. He was still living in 1935, when he attended the funeral of Martha Glasgow. No other Thomas Glasgow found in the census or civil death registrations appears to fit this evidence.
