Biography

James Glasgow, Esq., a native of Larne, died on 13 June 1839 at Bank Hall, Wakenham, Demerara, according to an August Belfast notice. Wakenham is retained as printed; the modern place identification requires a separate check.^[1]

Research Notes

Duplicate search (James Glasgow 1760-1815, Glasco/Glascoe/Glascow variants) found no profile dying in British Guiana or in 1839. Larne profiles conflict on chronology: Glasgow-3986 reported d. 1831 (St Cedma's tombstone), Glasgow-3991 d. 1812, Glasgow-1509 d. 1802. 'Esq.' and a West Indian estate death suggest a merchant/planter; he may be the 1830 Larne freeholder (group 390574399), but nothing connects them. A new profile (James Glasgow, b. Larne, d. 13 June 1839 Bank Hall, Wakenaam, Demerara) is justified by this notice alone.
