Anne Armstrong and her family, Antrim Assizes 1838

Jane Glasgow, mother of Anne Armstrong

HOLD — two possible profile comparisons; identity unresolved — The source directly names Jane Glasgow as mother of Anne Armstrong. McClure-6341 is the stronger possible comparison on age and Antrim context: its public catalogue gives estimated c.1773 Antrim birth and c.1858 Racavan death, but spouse/child links are unmarked WikiTree tree claims without evidence IDs. Glasgow-1779 is a weaker alternate: a County Antrim woman named Jane (Glasgow) Armstrong, born c.1799, whose profile reports uncertain 1837 death from a Racavan burying-ground memorial transcription, creating an unresolved chronology conflict. Neither is attached.

Record fields: Recorded as Jane Glasgow; mother of Anne Armstrong by 1838. Age, spouse, residence, birth surname and death are unstated in this notice.

Compatible WikiTree candidates

• McClure-6341 — Stronger possible candidate by geography and estimated chronology only. The public catalogue gives birth c.1773 in Antrim and death c.1858 at Racavan; listed spouse John Glasgow and five children (including Jane Armstrong) are unmarked tree links with no evidence IDs. The report does not establish this identity or list Anne among those children.
• Glasgow-1779 — Weaker possible alternative by name, region and chronology. The profile describes Jane (Glasgow) Armstrong, born c.1799 in County Antrim; it also reports an uncertain 1837 death based on a Racavan burying-ground memorial transcription. That is a concrete unresolved conflict with the 1838 notice, so retain only as an alternative, not equal to McClure-6341 and not attached.

Next identity test: Inspect original records behind the two candidate profiles, especially the Racavan memorial, and seek a record that names Anne as Jane’s child. Do not use tree links alone to identify the newspaper subject.

Jane Glasgow is named in the Antrim Assizes report as the mother of Anne Armstrong. Jane (McClure) Glasgow, McClure-6341, is a possible candidate based on estimated age and Antrim context; her profile’s spouse and children are unmarked tree relationships, not corroborating records. Jane (Glasgow) Armstrong, Glasgow-1779, is a weaker alternative. Her profile reports an uncertain 1837 death from a Racavan burying-ground memorial transcription, before the 1838 notice. That chronology conflict remains unresolved. Neither profile is attached. The report gives no age, spouse, residence or maiden name for Jane. <ref name="Antrim1838">Freeman’s Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser, 27 July 1838, p. 3, “Antrim Assizes,” [https://www.newspapers.com/image/1050122635/ inspected original page].</ref>
