{{Ireland Native}}

'''James Glasgow''' was born about 1801 in County Antrim, Ireland. In the surviving 1851 census he was a fifty-year-old day labourer at Ballycregagh, Dunaghy, County Antrim.<ref name="Census1851">1851 Census of Ireland, County Antrim, Dunaghy parish, Ballycraigargh, household 29, James Glasgow household: [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G94X-YD22 living household, image 251] and [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L94X-Y621 continuation and mortality return, image 252].</ref>

James and [[Hamilton-25516|Peggy Hamilton]] were both recorded as having married in 1848. Peggy's unmarried sisters [[Hamilton-44032|Nancy Hamilton]] and [[Hamilton-44033|Jane Hamilton]] lived with them. The mortality portion of the return names Peggy's parents as [[Hamilton-44031|Robert Hamilton]], a linen weaver, and [[Unknown-764457|Cathrin Hamilton]], both of whom died in spring 1848.<ref name="Census1851" />

The same return identifies James's children:

An 1847 Ballymena Workhouse admission group records [[Unknown-764460|Mary Glasgow]], aged 34, married and deserted, at Glenleslie with Margaret, Boyd, William James and Mary Jane Glasgow. Their names, ages and locality correspond closely to four of James's children in 1851.<ref name="Workhouse1847">[https://www.billmacafee.com/otherrecords/ballymenaworkhouse.pdf William Macafee, "Admissions to Ballymena Workhouse: 13th May to 8th July 1847"], registrations 4406–4410, Mary, Boyd, William James, Mary Jane and Margaret Glasgow of Glenleslie (accessed 13 August 2026).</ref>


=== Glenleslie parentage and daughter Ann ===

The 1851 census of [[Glasgow-1022|John Glasgow]] at Glenleslie records [[Glasgow-3168|Ann Glasgow]], aged eighteen, as his granddaughter.<ref name="Glenleslie1851">[https://nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-census/census-record/#census_year=1851&surname__icontains=Glasgow&county=Antrim&limit=30&id=31214 1851 Census of Ireland], Glenleslie household 21, John Glasgow household.</ref> Ann Jane Glasgow married Patrick Russell on 24 November 1869. The original register describes her as a thirty-three-year-old spinster of Kildowney and names her father as James Glasgow, weaver.<ref name="AnnRussell1869">General Register Office of Ireland, civil marriage register, Patrick Russell and Ann Jane Glasgow, 24 November 1869, Ballymena registration district; [https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/files/civil/marriage_returns/marriages_1869/11434/8200208.pdf original register image].</ref>

The bride is the strongest and only located identity for John's census granddaughter: her age is close, Kildowney and Glenleslie are both in Dunaghy parish, and this James's independently documented family was at Glenleslie in 1847. The combined records identify Ann as James's daughter and James as a son of John Glasgow. No source identifies Ann's mother; neither Mary nor Peggy is attached to her.== Research Notes ==

The 1851 return records James and Peggy's marriage year as 1848. This means Peggy should not be treated as the proved mother of children born between about 1831 and 1846, but it does not make earlier biological maternity impossible. Mary of the 1847 workhouse group is the strongest identified candidate for James's earlier wife and the older children's mother, but no inspected marriage or other record explicitly names James as Mary's husband. Until a better-supported mother can be attached, Peggy should remain attached to those children with uncertain confidence.

The workhouse transcription says that its Mary Jane died on 27 November 1847, while the 1851 return records an eleven-year-old Mary Jane living with James. This could reflect a transcription or return error, or two same-named children, and should not be resolved without the original records.

The public detailed transcription supplies the accessible household data used here.

James's parents have not been identified. His location places him in the wider Dunaghy Glasgow population, but no record calls him a son of [[Glasgow-1022|John Glasgow]], [[Glasgow-1367|Robert Glasgow]], [[Glasgow-3904|Alexander Glasgow]], or either 1825 Ballybogy tithe occupier. [[Glasgow-1702]] and [[Glasgow-1573]] remain similar-name profiles, not proved duplicates.

The 1851 return records James and Peggy's marriage year as 1848. This means Peggy should not be treated as the proved mother of children born between about 1831 and 1846, but it does not make earlier biological maternity impossible. Mary of the 1847 workhouse group is the strongest identified candidate for James's earlier wife and the older children's mother, but no inspected marriage or other record explicitly names James as Mary's husband. Until a better-supported mother can be attached, Peggy should remain attached to those children with uncertain confidence.

The workhouse transcription says that its Mary Jane died on 27 November 1847, while the 1851 return records an eleven-year-old Mary Jane living with James. This could reflect a transcription or return error, or two same-named children, and should not be resolved without the original records.

The public detailed transcription supplies the accessible household data used here.

James's parents have not been identified. His location places him in the wider Dunaghy Glasgow population, but no record calls him a son of [[Glasgow-1022|John Glasgow]], [[Glasgow-1367|Robert Glasgow]], [[Glasgow-3904|Alexander Glasgow]], or either 1825 Ballybogy tithe occupier. [[Glasgow-1702]] and [[Glasgow-1573]] remain similar-name profiles, not proved duplicates.
