1870

Thomas Glasgow

Inland Revenue will-index entry at Belfast naming Mary A. Glasgow and Thomas Glasgow

Candidate probate identificationoriginal
Record and source detail

A researcher-supplied index transcription gives Lisnagaver and 1870. Because Thomas died there on 21 June 1870 and his wife was Mary Ann, the leading interpretation is Thomas's estate with his widow involved; the image headings and folio are needed to resolve their roles. This does not name Alexander or prove siblinghood.
