Identity and family

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

Belfast News-Letter, 1846-11-10, p.4: no longer a candidate for this profile. Belfast News-Letter, 10 Nov 1846: Wm. Glasgow is among the Cookstown collectors and donors at the opening of Claggan Presbyterian Church. He cannot be identified.
Belfast News-Letter, 1858-07-22, p.3: no longer a candidate for this profile. Court report (Belfast News-Letter, 22 July 1858): the witness Benjamin Glasgow says his late father Robert Glasgow died in 1856 and that he had managed Robert's mill since 1850; he calls a companion 'witness's uncle, Mr. Glasgow, sen.' Benjamin is probably the Drapersfield Benjamin, Glasgow-4340, and Robert probably Glasgow-2656, so a father link 4340 to 2656 can be added as uncertain.
