Elizabeth Glasgow
c. 1772 – 17 September 1832
County Antrim, Ireland.
About Elizabeth
The Larne family monument directly establishes Elizabeth as William Glasgow-3324’s wife and records her death on 17 September 1832, aged 60, supporting birth about 1772. The former 1765 birth was an unsupported estimate. Stewart is retained as her existing maiden surname; the monument does not itself supply it or her parents.

Elizabeth’s monument and estate association
The Larne family monument directly establishes Elizabeth as William Glasgow-3324’s wife and records her death on 17 September 1832, aged 60, supporting birth about 1772. The former 1765 birth was an unsupported estimate. Stewart is retained as her existing maiden surname; the monument does not itself supply it or her parents.
A widow Elizabeth Glasgow of Larne, administratrix of Jane Stewart of Curran, is a strong identity candidate for this Elizabeth, but the original 1823 assignment does not name her husband or relationship to Jane. No new parent, sibling or child is attached from that deed.

Priority actions
Read Jane Stewart’s administration and the earlier mortgage recited in 548257. Compare the 1824 Elizabeth renewal with this widow and William’s 1815 will without assuming the same property: the assignment is on the south side of Newtown, while the 1779/1832 James–Anne–Jane tenement is on the north side. Preserve these title chains separately.

Current profile17This widow is a strong candidate for William Glasgow's widow Elizabeth, who survived him from 1816 until 1832, but the deed does not name her late husband. It establishes her authority to administer Jane Stewart's estate, without stating their relationship. The writing clerk's relationship to Elizabeth is also unstated. Jane's administration and the recited mortgage are specific sources to seek next; neither a parent nor a sibling should be assigned from the office of administratrix alone.

Current conclusion
The Larne family monument directly establishes Elizabeth as William Glasgow-3324’s wife and records her death on **17 September 1832, aged 60**, supporting birth about **1772**. The former 1765 birth was an unsupported estimate. Stewart is retained as her existing maiden surname; the monument does not itself supply it or her parents. A widow Elizabeth Glasgow of Larne, administratrix of Jane Stewart of Curran, is a strong identity candidate for this Elizabeth, but the original 1823 assignment does not name her husband or relationship to Jane. No new parent, sibling or child is attached from that deed.
