What the records show

Source findingsNewspaper identity review — 6 October 2026
Source findingsFindmypast sweep — 7 October 2026
  • Adds detail (index only): Findmypast indexes Philip Glasco Jun and Mary Glasco on the same page of the Chancery Bill Books, 11 February 1765 (vol. 38, p.53; IRE/COURT/CHANCERY/0000834604, IRE/COURT/CHANCERY/0000834605). This fits his first wife Mary (Braccan-2), whose death as wife of Philip Glasco junior was reported in September 1765. The index gives no role or relationship, so the pairing is probable, not stated.
  • Context: Hibernian Journal, 11 January 1773, p.2 (BNA BL/0000817/17730111/005), repeated in the same paper on 8, 10 and 22 February, 3, 5 and 22 March and 7 and 9 April 1773, and in Saunders's News-Letter, 12 March 1773, p.3 (BL/0001057/17730312/016). Full-page OCR of the 5 March issue (BL/0000817/17730305/010) reads, with long-s normalised: "THOMAS GLASCO, who served Apprenticeship to his Father, Philip Glasco, late [of] Christ-Church-lane, Watch-maker, and since had several Years Practice in London, takes this Method of informing his Friends and the Public, that he carries on the usual [business] at his said Father's House". The father there is very probably the elder Philip (died 1772), not this Philip, because a son of Philip junior (born about 1740) could not have finished an apprenticeship and several years' London practice by 1773.

Identity and family

Relationship assessment — newspaper identity review, 6 October 2026
  • Glasgow-3932 — same person as (duplicate) — Glasco-147: research note only (WikiTree now: not linked (two separate profiles)). Both profiles represent Philip Glasco the younger, Dublin watchmaker: 'Philip Glasco, jun.' (1765), 'Phil. Glasco the younger' (1768), and 'Philip Glasco, the younger, Dublin, watchmaker' (1772 intestacy index). Propose a WikiTree merge. Do not add a spouse to Glasgow-3932 separately. Restore Glasgow-3932's biography first: the live bio is the Robert Glasgow (Kilrea, 1827) text. (The Public Register, or, Freeman's Journal, 1765-09-28, p.3)

Current conclusion — newspaper identity review, 6 October 2026

- [The Public Register, or, Freeman's Journal, 1765-09-28, p.3](https://www.newspapers.com/image/1050029120/): Mr. Philip Glasco, junior, watchmaker, Christ-church-lane (husband of the deceased) — **strong** match. The notice's exact designation 'Philip Glasco, jun.', the watchmaking trade and Christ-church-lane agree with the 1768 marriage of 'Phil. Glasco the younger', watchmaker of Christ-church-lane, and with the 1772 Prerogative intestacy index entry 'Philip Glasco, the younger, Dublin, watchmaker' that Glasco-147 is built on (cited on Mangan-824 and Glasco-147). Only one younger Philip Glasco watchmaker existed in Dublin. Glasco-147 (b. c.1740, son of Glasco-146, spouses Braccan-2 and Plunkett-2805, children Glasco-149/150/169/174) and Glasgow-3932 (Phillip, b. before 1750, Co. Dublin, father Glasgow-1241, no spouse) are the same man. Glasgow-3932 was created 22 Jul 2026 and the project's own file research/record-philip-glasco-junior-01982f4970/findings.md already calls Glasco-147 a duplicate. The live Glasgow-3932 biography (API getProfile, checked 6 Oct 2026) now holds the text of Robert Gl Sources: [Faulkner's Dublin Journal, 24–28 Sep 1765, Deaths: '24th, Mrs. GLASCO, Wife of Mr. Philip GLASCO, Junior, an eminent Watchmaker in Christchurch-lane' (Ireland Old News transcription)](https://www.irelandoldnews.com/Dublin/1765/SEP.html); [Public Gazetteer extraction, 17 Sep 1768 (Philip Glasco Jnr, watchmaker, m. Teresa Plunkett)](https://eddiesextracts.com/extracts1700/pg1758_74.html); [Prerogative/Diocesan will and intestacy index (PROI DKPRI 26), entries for 'Philip Glasco, the younger, Dublin, watchmaker' 1772, intestacy p.72, as quoted on WikiTree Glasco-147 and Mangan-824](https://www.virtualtreasury.ie/item/PROI-DKPRI-26-7); [WikiTree API getProfile Glasgow-3932 (live bio shows Kilrea Robert Glasgow text)](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Glasgow-3932)
- [The Public Register, or, Freeman's Journal, 1768-09-20, p.3](https://www.newspapers.com/image/1050148115/): Mr. Phil. Glasco the younger, of Christ-church-lane, watchmaker (groom) — **strong** match. The rare name, 'the younger', the watchmaking trade, Christ-church-lane and the bride all agree. Glasco-147 is already married on WikiTree to Plunkett-2805 (Teresa Plunkett), whose biography cites the 1768 Public Gazetteer extraction of this marriage. Glasco-147 is defined by the 1772 intestacy of 'Philip Glasco, the younger, Dublin, watchmaker'. Glasgow-3932 is the same man (duplicate, no spouse, biography now overwritten with an unrelated Kilrea text). See group 1050029120. Sources: [Public Gazetteer extraction, 17 Sep 1768](https://eddiesextracts.com/extracts1700/pg1758_74.html); [WikiTree Plunkett-2805](https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Plunkett-2805)
