About John

Nothing is yet documented about the life of John Glasgow in this research file. A Drogheda Argus court report of 19 October 1850 naming Sub-constable John Glasgow of the Drogheda police was considered for this profile and withdrawn on 6 October 2026, because no existing WikiTree John fits a constable serving at Drogheda in 1850.

Identity assessment — newspaper candidates withdrawn, 6 October 2026

The Drogheda Argus and Leinster Journal, 1850-10-19, p.2: no longer a candidate for this profile. Drogheda Argus court report (19 Oct 1850): Sub-constable John Glasgow of the Drogheda police caught an oatmeal thief. No existing WikiTree John fits a constable serving at Drogheda in 1850, and the obvious namesakes conflict.
