Think I've found Caroline Eliza Glenn's birth thanks to MaryDerry- Eliza Glenn born 13 June 1879 Aghadowey district, Derry (age and county matches up on census details and with possible parents and siblings).

Hi there, I was just reading through your messages and I also have ancestors in Aghadowey. I have a Martha Glenn married to James crawford in 1851, her father was William Glenn they were married St Guaires Aghadowey. I wonder have you any info on any crawford families from this area?

Marriage for James Crawford & Martha Glenn gives both residences as Craigmore. She died 10 years later:
Coleraine Chronicle, 2 Nov.1861: At Craigmore, Aghadowey, on the 26th ult., Martha, wife of Mr. James Crawford, aged 32 years.

Other Glenns at Craigmore may be related:
Rebecca Glenn, dau. of William, m.1875 John Blair.
Jane Glen, 21, eld. dau. of William, m.1846 John Fleming.
Mary Black Glenn, 21, dau. of William, m.1859 John Douglas.
Isabella Glenn, dau. of William, m.1872 John Wright (I am researching this family)

There were also other Crawfords at Craigmore but I have nothing more on James & Martha.

Thanks for getting back to me, I am researching the crawford family of craigmore, my greatgrandfather was king crawford born 1867 his father was James not sure of his mother thought it was martha but the dates don't add up now.  Would be grateful of anything else you have on them.
