About James

Glasgow-3924 is the newly created profile for James Glasco of the Kilclone memorial. The inscription directly identifies Patrick as James's father and Richard and William as his brothers. James's birth before about 1733 is only an adult-status estimate and should remain uncertain.

Source findingsFindmypast sweep — 7 October 2026

Minor: Findmypast indexes this James Glasco on the Kilclone memorial (IRE/MEMDEAD/008199, image IRE/MEMDEAD/VOL2/00000210) with a death year of 1736. The published inscription says James erected the stone, which names deaths in 1738 and 1754, so 1736 cannot be his death year; treat it as an index error.
Searches that found nothing: no other Meath or Kilclone Glasco record before 1800 on Findmypast or in BNA snippets.

Birth-estimate audit - 21 August 2026

The live structured birth was corrected to about 1730, uncertain. The 1754 Kilclone record identifies James as an adult but supplies no birth year. The earlier before value remains only a strict chronological boundary, not the most useful estimated birth. No biography, relationship, source or other structured field was changed in this audit.

Birth-estimate audit - 21 August 2026

The live structured birth was corrected to **about 1730, uncertain**. The 1754 Kilclone record identifies James as an adult but supplies no birth year. The earlier `before` value remains only a strict chronological boundary, not the most useful estimated birth. No biography, relationship, source or other structured field was changed in this audit.

- **Minor:** Findmypast indexes this James Glasco on the Kilclone memorial (`IRE/MEMDEAD/008199`, image `IRE/MEMDEAD/VOL2/00000210`) with a death year of **1736**. The published inscription says James erected the stone, which names deaths in 1738 and 1754, so 1736 cannot be his death year; treat it as an index error.
- **Searches that found nothing:** no other Meath or Kilclone Glasco record before 1800 on Findmypast or in BNA snippets.
