Research Notes
Glasgow-3127 is a strong compatible Royal Artillery candidate: its live biography says Captain, father of Madeline and deceased by 1846, but its Sources section is empty. Glasgow-3785 (1795 Quebec–1851 Kingston) remains an exact-name chronology comparison without a military bridge. Glasgow-1536 (Barony birth/baptism 26 October 1804) is an explicitly linked weaker comparison in 3127; the newspaper supplies no parentage bridge. The 1833 Clement Stuart christening and 1851 death-duty citations on 3785, and the 1846 late-father claim on 3127, need underlying originals before reconciling these profiles. The senior 1819 George is not assigned to this younger officer. This is a separate same-name career occurrence; continuity with the 1825 notice and identity with any WikiTree profile remain unproved. No Irish origin, residence, or family relationship is inferred.
Birth, death, parents and spouse are unknown from these notices. Irish newspaper publication is not evidence of Irish birth or residence. Do not connect the officers to one another or to Lisnagaver, Rasharkin or Cookstown without evidence.
