Reported events, notices, advertisements and letters. OCR matches need visual checking; place names, vessels and matches to other surnames are excluded from Glasgow surname evidence.
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.

How to read these notices
Cards lead with the person named in the notice; profile candidates are assessed separately. Birth cutoffs labelled “by c.” are estimates, usually assuming an adult professional was at least 18; open the birth note for the basis. Event groups are broad navigation aids built from each notice’s record type. A relationship filter identifies family wording in the notice, not a proved match to a WikiTree family.

What the notice says
Robert Glasgow is reported among nine Old Bailey convicts receiving judgment of death, for highway robbery of Joseph Weedon’s gold ring, silver shoe buckles and other things.
Evidence and identity limits
A conviction/sentence report. The Last Saturday trial reference has no saved report dateline; no exact trial date inferred. This is not proof of actual execution, death or family identity. Identity review (6 October 2026): July 1751 report that Robert Glasgow was among nine Old Bailey convicts sentenced to death for robbing Joseph Weedon. The Ordinary's Account shows he was a butcher aged 28, born at Chipping Ongar, Essex. All three Scottish candidates conflict, so he has no WikiTree profile and needs a new one. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Robert Glasgow (new-profile draft pending).

What the notice says
Robert Glasgow, condemned for robbing Joseph Weedon on the highway, is included among Newgate prisoners ordered for execution on Monday next.
Evidence and identity limits
Same named case as the 16 July sentence report, but a different reported action. John Young is the prisoner reprieved for life. This execution order does not establish that Robert was executed. Relative Yesterday and Monday next are not converted to issue-based dates. Identity review (6 October 2026): July 1751 report that Robert Glasgow was ordered for execution. The Ordinary's Account confirms he was hanged at Tyburn on Monday 29 July 1751. He has no WikiTree profile; the new profile is flagged on group 971486582. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Robert Glasgow (new-profile draft pending).
