Biography
On 10 March 1841, a Repeal Association entry reads “From Baddinstown, county Meath, per Mr. Owen Glasco, 1l.” and states that Mr. Glasco was admitted a member. On 25 February 1843, Owen Glasco appears among members “having each collected 20 Repealers”; the list ends with “Raddinstown County Meath.” The uncommon full name, association roles and Meath place context support probable continuity, but the 1843 list layout does not securely attach Raddinstown specifically to Owen. Retain the separate Baddinstown/Raddinstown readings; no modern place is identified. Neither notice proves birth, kinship or residence. “1l.” is £1; “20 Repealers” counts people collected, not money.[1][2]
Research Notes
The uncommon full name, association roles and Meath place context support probable continuity, but the 1843 list layout does not securely attach Raddinstown specifically to Owen. Retain the separate Baddinstown/Raddinstown readings; no modern place is identified. Neither notice proves birth, kinship or residence. “1l.” is £1; “20 Repealers” counts people collected, not money.
- No exact Owen Glasco profile was found in the bounded approved public catalogue check; this is not an exhaustive duplicate search. - The 1779–1783 Dublin watchmaker cluster is local family context only; no source identifies Owen as a relative.
Locate the original association membership/collection lists and historical townland evidence to resolve the place readings and test whether the two records refer to one adult.
