About Mary
Mary was a distinct married and deserted woman admitted to Ballymena Workhouse from Glenleslie on 3 June 1847. Four immediately consecutive Glasgow admissions closely match children of James Glasgow in 1851, but the available transcript does not state relationships. Mary remains an unconnected candidate wife and mother pending the original register.

What the records show
Source findings — Ballymena Workhouse admissions, 3 June 1847
Macafee, “Admissions to Ballymena Workhouse: 13th May to 8th July 1847”, registrations 4406–4410 (transcription, accessed 13 August 2026): Mary Glasgow of Glenleslie, Clogh electoral division, aged 34, married and deserted, Established Church, admitted on 3 June 1847 and discharged alive on 31 July 1847. The next four admissions, on the same day, from the same townland and of the same religion, are Boyd (Glasgow-2984), William James (Glasgow-2983), Mary Jane (Glasgow-1378) and Margaret Glasgow (Glasgow-2986). Birth about 1813 is calculated from her age. The transcript names no husband and states no relationships; Mary remains a candidate wife of James Glasgow (Glasgow-2981) and mother of the four, pending the original register.
Not the same woman: Glasgow-2902 (wife of William Eccles, a different documented family), Glasgow-2971 (child of a separate Scottish household) and Glasgow-3957 (the unmarried niece of Glasgow-1367 in 1851; marital status conflicts).
