Summary of the research
Newspaper identity review, 6 October 2026
- Freeman’s Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser, 1838-07-27, p.3: Jane Glasgow (mother of the deceased Anne Armstrong; witness) — probable match. Independent agreements: (1) a living Mrs Jane Glasgow in 1838 - Jane (McClure) Glasgow was widowed in 1836 and lived until 1858 (Racavan stone: 'Jane, his widow 1858, aged 85'); (2) place - the death was at Bally-cluck (Ballyclug parish, which Lewis 1837 places in one manor district with Racavan; the family is buried at Racavan, Broughshane, and son Adam D. Glasgow was 'of Broughshane' in 1830-31); (3) family - the same stone records her daughter 'Jane Armstrong' (married an Armstrong) dying about this time (1837, aged 38). No other Jane Glasgow of County Antrim exists on WikiTree. Not strong because the deceased's forename (Anne vs Jane) and year (1838 vs 1837) do not match the stone transcription. Sources: Racavan Burying-Ground, Broughshane, Glasgow memorial (thebraid.com transcription quoted on WikiTree Glasgow-1779 and McClure-6341; site offline): 'William Glasgow, who died 1823, aged 22. His father John Glasgow, 1836, aged 70.

- Probably the Jane Glasgow who gave evidence at the Antrim Assizes in July 1838 as mother of Anne Armstrong (d. 23 June 1838 at Ballyclug); alive and a widow in 1838. — Freeman's Journal, 27 July 1838, p. 3 (newspapers.com image 1050122635) (Freeman’s Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser, 1838-07-27, p.3)
Identity and family
Identity assessment — 1838 Antrim Assizes comparison
Freeman’s Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser, 27 July 1838, p. 3 names Jane Glasgow as mother of Anne Armstrong. McClure-6341 remains a possible comparison by estimated dates and Antrim context: the public catalogue lists John Glasgow as spouse and five children including Jane Armstrong, but all those links are unmarked WikiTree tree relationships without evidence IDs. They are not corroborating records. The newspaper gives no age, spouse, residence, or maiden name for the mother and does not state Anne’s birth surname. No profile relationship is attached or upgraded.
