George Glascoe

c. 1571 (estimated) – 3 July 1589

Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England (estimated)

About George

George is presently defined only by a reported burial at Berwick-upon-Tweed on 3 July 1589. The live biography cites the FamilySearch record for Margaret Glasko of Norwich rather than a record for George, so its source does not support this profile.

What the research found

Summary of the research

Overall conclusion

This summary is given in full at the top of the page.

Identity and family

Placement assessment

Berwick geography makes Scottish origin possible, but not proved. Treat George as an unplaced Borders/English control until his own parish entry is found. He cannot sensibly be attached as a son of Alan Glasgw, who was killed before 26 February 1495; the events are 94 years apart. A multi-generation descent from Alan or another late-medieval bearer is possible in the abstract but has no identified bridge.

Still open

Questions the records have not yet answered, suggested next searches and suggested corrections.

Recommended correction

Replace the incorrect Margaret-Glasko citation only after George's actual Berwick register/index entry is recovered. Do not add Scottish parents from the surname spelling alone.

Current conclusion

George is presently defined only by a reported burial at Berwick-upon-Tweed on
3 July 1589. The live biography cites the FamilySearch record for Margaret
Glasko of Norwich rather than a record for George, so its source does not
support this profile.

as an **unplaced Borders/English control** until his own parish entry is found.
