About James

5 October 2026 candidate review: Uncertain 1730 birth conflicts with the reported age by about five years; Dublin carpenter context supplies no Omagh bridge, but the date is not firm. James Glasco of Omagh’s 1786 marriage and 1793 business notices are retained as documentary evidence. This profile is a possible candidate; no spouse, parent, occupation or place is attached. The 1786 groom and 1793 contact are probably the same man, with no proved profile bridge.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026
  • The Public Register, or, Freeman's Journal, 1786-09-05, p.3: no longer a candidate for this profile. Freeman's Journal 5 Sep 1786 marriage: Mr. James Glasco of Omagh, publican, aged 61, to Miss Jane Murray of the same place, aged 16. Neither person has a compatible WikiTree profile with any Omagh link. All existing James namesakes are only possible, and the Dublin carpenter Glasco-148 is now unlikely. Recommend new profiles for James Glasco of Omagh (b. c.1725) and Jane Murray (b. c.1770), linked as spouses.
  • The Northern Star, 1793-05-11, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. Northern Star 11 and 18 May 1793: the Hope (Abner Lowell master), Londonderry for Newcastle and Philadelphia; freight or passage enquiries to Mr. James Glasco, Omagh (notice signed by Robert Burnside, Londonderry, 25 Apr 1793). Very probably the 1786 Omagh publican. Same identity conclusion as group 1050075355: no existing profile is preferred, and a new profile draft is recommended.
  • The Northern Star, 1793-05-25, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. Northern Star 25 May 1793: a repeat of the Hope advertisement with the sailing put off; contact still Mr. James Glasco, Omagh. Same conclusion as the 11 and 18 May copies.
