Coverage, survival & limitations

Availability depends on the particular repository, locality, date range and record series. We have not established complete coverage for this collection. Follow each provider link for its holdings and access terms; a missing result is not proof of absence.

Reading the evidence: an index, transcript, provider search page and original image are different sources. A recorded image link does not mean its reading or identity match is confirmed. Inspect the assessment and source page before changing a family relationship. Repository guides checked 4 October 2026.

Collected references 27

Reference items in this project, not the total surviving archive. A reference can appear in several types or locations; several references can concern the same record. Countries are inferred from source descriptions and recorded places, so check the citation. Undated and ambiguous items remain available.

—This information regarding the Kilwaughter James is commonly cited in Glasgow family histories but requires primary source verification for the death date and details. Secondary sources often cite a James Glasgow in Kilwaughter, Co. Antrim, appearing in the 1669 Hearth Money Rolls and dying c. 1726. Primary source verification is recommended. This individual is considered distinct from James Glasgow of Polwarth/GordoJames Glasgow—No link
