About George

George Glasgow is recorded with a birth or baptism in Barony parish on 26 October 1804, but the file cites no record for that date and documents nothing further about his life. Royal Artillery notices of 1825 and 1837 naming First Lieutenant George Mark Glasgow were considered for this profile and withdrawn on 6 October 2026; the review identified that officer as George Mark Glasgow, born at Quebec in 1795 (Glasgow-3785), probably the same man as Glasgow-3127, a likely duplicate. Glasgow-3127 carries a note that it may be the same as this profile, but the file treats that link as a weak comparison.

Identity and family

Identity assessment — military newspapers, 4 October 2026

Glasgow-3127 is a strong compatible Royal Artillery candidate: its live biography says Captain, father of Madeline and deceased by 1846, but its Sources section is empty. Glasgow-3785 (1795 Quebec–1851 Kingston) remains an exact-name chronology comparison without a military bridge. Glasgow-1536 (Barony birth/baptism 26 October 1804) is an explicitly linked weaker comparison in 3127; the newspaper supplies no parentage bridge. The 1833 Clement Stuart christening and 1851 death-duty citations on 3785, and the 1846 late-father claim on 3127, need underlying originals before reconciling these profiles. The senior 1819 George is not assigned to this younger officer.

Freeman’s Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser, 1825-02-16, p.3: no longer a candidate for this profile. February 1825 Ordnance notice: First Lieutenant George Mark Glasgow, from half-pay, to be First Lieutenant RA vice Forster. He is the George Mark Glasgow born at Quebec in 1795, later Captain RA, who died at Kingston, Canada West in 1851. His 1851 obituary calls him 'son of the late General Glasgow, of the same corps'. Glasgow-3785 is the match, Glasgow-3127 appears to be a duplicate of him, and a father link to the general (who has no profile yet) is supported.
Freeman’s Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser, 1837-01-21, p.2: no longer a candidate for this profile. Freeman's Journal, 21 January 1837, reprints the Ordnance list of 16 January: First Lieutenant George Mark Glasgow to be Second Captain, vice Freer. He is the Royal Artillery officer of Glasgow-3127 (probable), who is very probably also Glasgow-3785 (b. Quebec 1795, d. Kingston 1851) - a likely duplicate pair. No relationship stated.
Belfast News-Letter, 1837-01-24, p.1: no longer a candidate for this profile. Belfast News-Letter, 24 January 1837: Office of Ordnance, 16 January - 1st Lieut. George Mark Glasgow to be Second Captain, vice Freer; 2nd Lieut. George Carter Evelegh to be First Lieutenant, vice Glasgow. Same promotion as the Freeman's Journal reprint; the officer is probably Glasgow-3127, itself probably a duplicate of Glasgow-3785. No relationship stated.

Glasgow-3785 (b. Quebec 1795, d. Kingston 1851) and Glasgow-3127 (Captain RA, d. by 1846) both fit and may be duplicates; the Quebec birth suggests he was a son of Lt-Gen George Glasgow RA, but nothing proves it.
