What the notice says
Henry Little Glasgow married on 16 March 1897 at Ballywillan Presbyterian Church. The contemporary notice names him second son of the late Benjamin of Cookstown, editor of the Mid-Ulster Mail and Dungannon News, and brother of Rev. W. G. Glasgow, B.A., Dromara.
Evidence and identity limits
Strong profile match on name, occupation, wedding date and brother. The live profile’s attributed 1950 obituary calls him third son; preserve the discrepancy. Existing family support, not a newly certain live parent link. Identity review (6 October 2026): Marriage notice (Belfast News-Letter, 19 Mar 1897): Henry Little Glasgow, second son of the late Benjamin Glasgow of Cookstown, editor of the Mid-Ulster Mail and Dungannon News, and brother of Rev. W. G. Glasgow, B.A., Dromara, married at Ballywillan Presbyterian Church on 16 March 1897. The notice firmly identifies Henry (Glasgow-2131), his father Benjamin-2059 and his brother W.G.-2135, and supports marking Henry's father link confident.
Who this may be
Why this candidate?
Full name, editor of the Mid-Ulster Mail (founded 1891 by Henry and John), Cookstown, and marriage date agree. The profile's GRONI index shows Henry Glasgow and Staunton, 16 Mar 1897, Coleraine district (which covers Ballywillan). His named brother is the Dromara minister. 'Second son' differs from the 1950 obituary's 'third son'; the first son, John George, died in 1857. Keep the discrepancy.
Why this candidate?
Henry's middle name Little equals the maiden name of Benjamin-2059's wife Jane Little (married 1856), and 2059 died in 1870. The Drapersfield Benjamin-4340 is excluded: he had a Pike wife and was alive in Hull in 1891.
Why this candidate?
The unique designation (Dromara minister, B.A.) matches 2135, who accepted the First Dromara call in Jan 1896.
