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.

Complete Deaths paragraph naming the unnamed wife of Philip Glasco junior, watchmaker, in Christ-church-lane. Exact death day and her given/maiden names are not stated.

What the notice says
The death column reports Mrs. Glasco, wife of Mr. Philip Glasco, junior, watchmaker, in Christ-church-lane. Her given and maiden names are not printed.
Evidence and identity limits
The same junior designation, trade and Dublin lane make Glasgow-3932 a probable match to the younger Philip who married Teresa Plunkett in 1768. If the identification is correct, this records an earlier unnamed wife; do not identify her as Teresa or infer parents. The issue supplies a latest date for her death, not an exact day. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal death column (issue of 28 Sep 1765) for Mrs. Glasco, wife of Mr. Philip Glasco junior, watchmaker, Christ-church-lane, Dublin. Philip junior is the younger Dublin watchmaker, who already exists twice on WikiTree: Glasco-147 (the better-connected profile, with wives Braccan-2 and Plunkett-2805) and the project-created duplicate Glasgow-3932, whose live biography has been overwritten with an unrelated 1827 Kilrea Robert Glasgow text. The deceased wife is already modelled as Braccan-2. No new relationship is needed; the action is a merge and data clean-up.
[b. c. 1740; d. ?] · husband of the deceasedWhy this candidate?
The notice's exact designation 'Philip Glasco, jun.', the watchmaking trade and Christ-church-lane agree with the 1768 marriage of 'Phil. Glasco the younger', watchmaker of Christ-church-lane, and with the 1772 Prerogative intestacy index entry 'Philip Glasco, the younger, Dublin, watchmaker' that Glasco-147 is built on (cited on Mangan-824 and Glasco-147). Only one younger Philip Glasco watchmaker existed in Dublin. Glasco-147 (b. c.1740, son of Glasco-146, spouses Braccan-2 and Plunkett-2805, children Glasco-149/150/169/174) and Glasgow-3932 (Phillip, b. before 1750, Co. Dublin, father Glasgow-1241, no spouse) are the same man. Glasgow-3932 was created 22 Jul 2026 and the project's own fil
[b. before 1747; d. c. 1765] · deceased wife of Philip Glasco juniorWhy this candidate?
Braccan-2 ('Mary Braccan / Glasco', b. before 1747, d. 1765, spouse of Glasco-147) is the WikiTree profile created for this woman. Her only cited source is the Faulkner's Dublin Journal transcription of this same death. The notice identifies her only as the wife of Philip Glasco junior, so matching her to this profile is secure as a role match. However, the given name and maiden name on the profile are not supported. The RC baptism of Phil Glascoe at SS Michael & John, Dublin, in 1762 (DU-RC-BA-46402, quoted on Braccan-1) names the father Phil Glascoe and the mother only as 'Mary [nr]', and lists Mary Braccan as SPONSOR 2. 'Braccan' therefore seems to have been taken from the sponsor, not th

What the notice says
“The Lady Forbes, of Glasgow, William Glasgow, Master, with Rum for Waterford, was drove on Shore near Sutton, but the Crew were saved.”
Evidence and identity limits
William Glasgow is explicitly the master’s personal name; “of Glasgow” separately describes the vessel. Personal origin, age and family are unstated. No identification with the unnamed Glasgow captain of the brig William in 1796 is justified. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal 23 Jan 1768: the Lady Forbes, of Glasgow, William Glasgow master, carrying rum for Waterford, was driven ashore near Sutton and the crew were saved. The master is a real named William Glasgow. At least a dozen compatible William Glasgow profiles exist and nothing in the notice prefers one, so no identification is made.

What the notice says
The marriage column names Mr. Phil. Glasco the younger, of Christ-church-lane, watchmaker, and Miss Teresa Plunkett of Church-street.
Evidence and identity limits
The rare name, younger designation, trade, address and bride agree with the existing Philip junior evidence draft and compatible profile Glasgow-3932. This original corroborates the marriage reported in the Public Gazetteer extraction dated 17 September 1768; it does not itself supply that exact wedding date or prove his father. Keep him separate from the elder Philip and the later surname-only watchmaker. OCR Glafco represents printed Glasco. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal 20 Sep 1768 marriage of Mr. Phil. Glasco the younger, watchmaker of Christ-church-lane, to Miss Teresa Plunkett of Church-street. Both people already exist and are already linked as spouses on WikiTree: Glasco-147 and Plunkett-2805. Glasgow-3932 is a duplicate of the groom.
The rare name, 'the younger', the watchmaking trade, Christ-church-lane and the bride all agree. Glasco-147 is already married on WikiTree to Plunkett-2805 (Teresa Plunkett), whose biography cites the 1768 Public Gazetteer extraction of this marriage. Glasco-147 is defined by the 1772 intestacy of 'Philip Glasco, the younger, Dublin, watchmaker'. Glasgow-3932 is the same man (duplicate, no spouse, biography now overwritten with an unrelated Kilrea text). See group 1050029120.
Plunkett-2805 (Teresa Plunkett / Glasco, b. before 1750, Co. Dublin, d. after 1771, spouse Glasco-147, child Glasco-174) was created from this marriage. Her biography quotes the Public Gazetteer: 'Mr. Philip Glasco Jnr of Christchurch-yard, Watchmaker, to the agreeable Miss Teresa Plunkett of Church-street'. The name, the street and the groom all agree, and no other Teresa Plunkett of the period exists on WikiTree (Plunkett-829, b. 1765 Westmeath, is too young and from a different place).

What the notice says
Glasco, watch and clock maker, advertises moving from Christ-Church-lane to 20 Ormond Quay near the market; no first name is given.
Evidence and identity limits
Original inspected. Same address-change advertisement, not an independent family statement. Thomas candidates remain compatible but unassigned. Identity review (6 October 2026): A repeated 1779–80 Freeman's Journal advertisement: Glasco, watch and clock maker, moves from Christ-Church-lane to 20 Ormond Quay. Two other records point to Thomas Glasco as the advertiser: a July 1779 marriage of '[Thomas] Glasco of Christchurch-lane, watchmaker' to Miss Hynes of Ormond-quay (Saunders's News-Letter extraction; forename supplied by the extractor), and Watson's 1783 directory entry 'Glasco, Thomas, Watch maker, 20 Ormond quay'. Which WikiTree Thomas he is remains unproved.
[b. c. 1753; d. ?] · advertiserWhy this candidate?
Documentary identity, graded probable: the same trade, the move to exactly 20 Ormond Quay in Oct 1779, and Watson's 1783 listing of Thomas Glasco, watch maker, at 20 Ormond quay (same house number, four years later) identify the advertiser as Thomas Glasco. The July 1779 marriage of a Christchurch-lane watchmaker Glasco to Miss Hynes of Ormond-quay explains the move to Ormond Quay. The bracketed forename [Thomas] in that extraction is editorial and is not used as evidence. Profile assignment, graded possible only, among three Dublin Thomas profiles managed by the same user.

What the notice says
Michael Rogers, for assaulting the Rev. Manasses Glasco, ordered to pay ten guineas, to be distributed in public charities by the prosecutor.
Evidence and identity limits
The original directly supports the clerical title Rev. for Manasses Glasco in 1780. Glasco-170 is a probable match to the Monkstown family account; his recorded birth BEFORE 1766 is a boundary, not a 1766 birth. The notice names no relatives or parish appointment. No relationship is upgraded. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal 12 Dec 1780 court report: Michael Rogers was fined ten guineas for assaulting the Rev. Manasses Glasco. The only Manasses Glasco or Glasgow on WikiTree is Glasco-170 (Rev. Manasses, said to be assistant curate of Monkstown, died before his widow Susanna remarried in June 1784), and the identity is now graded strong. The notice names no kin.
[b. before 1766; d. before 1784] · assault victim (clergyman)Why this candidate?
The full name is unique in the surname study and the clerical title fits: duplicate searches for Manasses Glasco, Manasses Glasgow and Manasseh Glasgow return only Glasco-170. The YouWho Dowling family account calls Manasses Glasco assistant curate of Monkstown and says his widow Susanna married Dionysius Dowling at Monkstown in June 1784. The profile also cites M. Wade Mahon's note of a 'Rev. Mr Glasco' who was first assistant at a Blackrock school and advertised for boarders in 1782. A Rev. Manasses Glasco in Dublin in Dec 1780 fits all of this, and no rival Manasses exists. The match is strong for the person; it does not validate the profile's other claims. Two caveats. The profile's fath

What the notice says
Mr. James Glasco, of Omagh, publican, aged 61, to Miss Jane Murray, of same place, aged 16.
Evidence and identity limits
James is an Omagh publican, aged 61, marrying Jane Murray, aged 16. The report implies approximate birth c.1724–1725 and c.1769–1770 respectively; no exact ceremony day is printed. The 1793 Omagh contact is probably the same man. Glasgow-3944 is the leading compatible profile, with surviving alternatives; no profile identity, parent or new spouse attachment is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal 5 Sep 1786 marriage: Mr. James Glasco of Omagh, publican, aged 61, to Miss Jane Murray of the same place, aged 16. Neither person has a compatible WikiTree profile with any Omagh link. All existing James namesakes are only possible, and the Dublin carpenter Glasco-148 is now unlikely. Recommend new profiles for James Glasco of Omagh (b. c.1725) and Jane Murray (b. c.1770), linked as spouses. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Miss Jane Murray, of the same place (Omagh), aged 16.

Reported attempted robbery on the preceding Saturday, around one to two in the morning. No given name or husband is supplied; neither Dublin candidate is identified. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal 9 Oct 1787: the shop of Mrs Glascoe on Ormond Quay was attacked at night and she asked for police protection. She is very probably the wife or widow of Thomas Glasco, watchmaker at 20 Ormond Quay in 1783, but which wife cannot be determined. Candidates are Miss Hynes (m. 1779, no profile), Mary King (King-67628, 1785 licence with a Thomas Glasco) and Duffy-6026.
[b. c. 1755; d. ?] · shopkeeper on Ormond Quay (victim of attempted break-in)Why this candidate?
Ormond Quay is where the watchmaker Glasco moved in 1779 (group 1050086381) and where Thomas Glasco, watch maker, is listed at No. 20 in 1783. A 'Mrs Glascoe' with a shop there in 1787 is most likely his wife or widow. Thomas Glasco's known marriages are: 1773, Margaret Duffy (St Audoen's COI; on WikiTree as Duffy-6026, though that profile is named 'Ann'); 1779, Miss Hynes of Ormond-quay (Saunders's extraction); and a 1785 marriage licence, Thomas Glasco and Mary King (index quoted on Mangan-824; profile King-67628). It is not known whether these are one man marrying serially or two or three men. King-67628 is listed first because 1785 is closest to 1787. Miss Hynes is the bride tied to Ormo

The master is explicitly named William/Wm. Glasgow of the Belfast brig William (and in 1793–94 of the Jean, from Belfast). That gives a documentary person, but he cannot yet be placed on WikiTree. Glasgow-3324 (William of Larne, c.1763–1816, wife Elizabeth Stewart, daughters Jane Shutter, Eliza and Mary) is the only profile with any suggestion of seafaring. That suggestion comes from an inherited Kilwaughter family chronology ('could be the William Glasgow, captain of the "William"'), not from a record. In 1804 a Larne deed calls him a farmer. That is not a conflict (masters often held land) but it is not support either. Age about 29 in 1792 is compatible. No record names the master's reside

Evidence and identity limits
Candidate Glasgow-2915; no father or wife in notice. Identity review (6 October 2026): Northern Star 23 and 30 Jan 1793: William Glasgow, delegate for Kildress (Co. Tyrone), later chairman, at the meeting of 16 Jan 1793. He is an adult of the Kildress/Cookstown district. Glasgow-2915 (William of Cookstown, wife from Ballynasollus, Kildress) remains the leading but only possible profile. The notice names no relatives.
[b. c. 1760; d. ?] · delegate and chairman of a parish meetingWhy this candidate?
The notice establishes an adult William Glasgow acting for Kildress parish in Jan 1793. Glasgow-2915 (William, reported b. 1760, died Cookstown; spouse Mitchell-48576, Margaret Mitchell 'of Ballynasollus, Kildress'; sons born 1799 Tyrone, 1804, and 1815 at Killycurragh, Derryloran) fits the age and the Kildress/Derryloran district. However, his family links rest on a MyHeritage tree, and the project's findings say no primary record yet proves them. The 1796 Flax Growers' list for Tyrone has only one William of the surname: 'Glasco, William, Derryloran' (the parish next to Kildress). That fits a local William in the 1790s, but it is not in Kildress itself and does not bridge to any profile. O

What the notice says
Robert Glasgow pledges two guineas in a Cookstown reward subscription after a shot was fired at a soldier standing sentinel.
Evidence and identity limits
Issue dated 12 December 1796; reported Cookstown dateline is 2 December. The original notice recounts Tuesday morning, 29 November, and pledges a reward for discovery/conviction after a shot at a soldier standing sentinel. Two guineas is the sum pledged by Robert, not proof of payment or the assailant’s identity. His residence and family are unstated. Glasgow-1189 is a possible local/age candidate, with no Cookstown bridge. Glasgow-1983 is a weaker Irish-born namesake with a South Carolina household context. Neither identity, kinship nor residence is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): Northern Star 12 Dec 1796: Robert Glasgow pledges two guineas to the Cookstown reward subscription after a shot was fired at a sentinel on 29 Nov 1796. A newly found strongest candidate is Glasgow-3941, the only Robert Glasgow in the 1796 Tyrone Flax Growers' list (Lissan parish, next to Cookstown; later at Coltrim). He is possible, not proved. Glasgow-1983 is now unlikely (South Carolina household by 1785).
[b. before 1776; d. after 1831] · subscriber to a reward fundWhy this candidate?
The 1796 Flax Growers' list for County Tyrone (same year) contains exactly one Robert of the surname: 'Glasgow, Robert, Lissan'. Lissan parish adjoins Cookstown (Derryloran) to the north. Glasgow-3941 is built on that flax entry and later Lissan records (Drapers' Company lease of Coltrim 1820, Lissan tithe 1827, 1831 census at Coltrim, Presbyterian). So the name, year and district agree. It stays possible rather than probable for two reasons. A Cookstown reward subscription was a town and gentry list, and the Registry of Deeds has a 'Robert Glasgow junior, gent.' of Cookstown in 1817 (memorial 488398, cited in research/Glasgow-2915), which implies a Robert senior in Cookstown who has no prof

The linked previous-page heading supplies county context. The list category remains unresolved; do not label him a juror, freeholder or militiaman. The separate UNION paragraph concerning Grand Jurors does not classify this later roster. No bridge to the 1798 Dublin attendee is established. Identity review (6 October 2026): Public Register 24 Sep 1799: John Glasco in a continued roster under the heading COUNTY OF LONDONDERRY (list category unresolved).

The roster gives only name, spelling and county. Compatible Co. Londonderry adults in 1799: (1) Glasgow-3927, est. b. 1767, Inishrush, Tamlaght O'Crilly; his 1831 census entry spells the name 'John Glasco', matching this roster.

Under ROBBERY AND REWARD, the shop of Messrs Peter and Semple at 108 Grafton Street was entered and stolen watches listed. One is a gold double-cased watch marked “Glasco and Son, Dublin.” The stolen watch bears the number 3203.
Evidence and identity limits
This is a maker/firm mark on a watch listed among stolen property in a robbery notice. The issue dates the printed notice, not manufacture or continuous business activity; “and Son” does not prove named father and son. The watch is not established as made in the existing watchmaker’s shop, and no individual or family identity follows.

The 59th Foot: Assistant Surgeon J. Glasco was to be surgeon vice Hagan, deceased; the appointment entry is dated 8 February 1816.

The entry date is 8 February, not a reported date of Hagan’s death. The issue was published on 28 February. Only the initial J. is printed. This documentary sequence may involve one or more men; identity continuity is unresolved. Weak possible comparisons: Glasgow-2058: Weak comparison only: compatible chronology and later Cookstown merchant context, but no service, Liverpool, family, or surname-spelling bridge. Glasgow-3927: Weak comparison only: 1831 John Glasco of Inishrush, but no age or occupation and no military bridge; keep separate from proposed Glasgow-822 identity. Glasgow-822: Weak comparison only: chronology and Irish family context fit broadly, but Ohio records by 1833 create location tension with later Liverpool notices; no service bridge. Identity review (6 October 2026): 1816 notice: Assistant Surgeon J. Glasco to be surgeon of the 59th Foot vice Hagan. The army medical roll identifies him as John Glasco, the junior of two army surgeons of that name (b. 4 Sept 1783, BA TCD, d. Dinan 1869).

Office of Ordnance, February 7: First Lieutenant George Mark Glasgow, from half-pay, to be First Lieutenant in the Royal Regiment of Artillery, vice Forster.
Evidence and identity limits
A return from half-pay to a post at the same rank, not a promotion from Second Lieutenant. 7 February 1825 is inferred from the contemporary issue. Glasgow-3127 has a matching Royal Artillery captain biography, but its live Sources section is empty; Glasgow-3785 is an exact-name chronology candidate and Glasgow-1536 a weaker linked comparison. No family identity, birth date, nationality or station is proved. Identity review (6 October 2026): February 1825 Ordnance notice: First Lieutenant George Mark Glasgow, from half-pay, to be First Lieutenant RA vice Forster. He is the George Mark Glasgow born at Quebec in 1795, later Captain RA, who died at Kingston, Canada West in 1851. His 1851 obituary calls him 'son of the late General Glasgow, of the same corps'. Glasgow-3785 is the match, Glasgow-3127 appears to be a duplicate of him, and a father link to the general (who has no profile yet) is supported.
[b. 1795-02-15; d. 1851-01-06] · First Lieutenant, Royal Regiment of Artillery (from half-pay)Why this candidate?
The unique full name George Mark Glasgow in the Royal Artillery traces one career: London Gazette 18 Jan 1825 (2nd Lt to be 1st Lt, dated 15 Nov 1824); London Gazette 8 Feb 1825 (1st Lt from half-pay to be 1st Lt, dated 26 Dec 1824; this is the notice transcribed in Freeman's Journal); Times 12 Apr 1843 (2nd Capt to be Captain vice Raynes); Monthly Army List Jan 1849 (captain vice George Mark Glasgow, retired, 15 Feb 1849).

What the notice says
Benjamin Glasgow is listed under Masters in Surgery in a Glasgow University report stating that gentlemen from Ireland were admitted to degrees during the session.
Evidence and identity limits
The newspaper reports a degree by May 1825; the university index, rechecked 4 October 2026, lists Benjamin Glasgow in 1826. Preserve the discrepancy: different dates, an index or printing error, or a namesake remain possible. Strong compatible candidate Glasgow-3412 and the Cookstown/New Orleans surgeon account; no father, hometown, age or overseas career appears here. Identity review (6 October 2026): May 1825 report of Glasgow University degrees conferred on gentlemen from Ireland lists Benjamin Glasgow as Master in Surgery. Glasgow-3412 is built solely on the university's record of this degree, so the match is probable: he is the only Benjamin Glasgow in the index, though it dates the degree 1826. The profile's 'born 1805 Scotland' is unsupported and contradicts 'from Ireland'.
[b. c. 1805; d. ?] · Master in Surgery, University of Glasgow (session 1824-25 per notice)Why this candidate?
Glasgow-3412's only sourced fact is the University of Glasgow Story entry 'Benjamin Glasgow ... Master of Surgery, 1826'. A fresh query of that index returns exactly one Benjamin Glasgow. The newspaper reports the same uncommon degree at the same university for a Benjamin Glasgow in the 1824-25 session. Name, institution and degree agree. The one-year discrepancy (1825 report, 1826 index) is unresolved, which is why the match is probable rather than strong. The profile's birthplace 'Scotland' and birth year 1805 have no source, and the notice places him among 'gentlemen from Ireland'. A WikiTree search for Benjamin Glasgow or Glasco born 1780-1820 returns only Glasgow-3412.

What the notice says
At the Belfast Institution College Department awards on 2 May 1828, Jas. Glasgow of Broughshane was listed for proficiency in the business of the Junior Division class. Separately, the Logic and Belles Lettres section named James Glasgow for general eminence during the session in daily examinations and composition of exercises on class subjects. The notice does not establish whether these two entries refer to one student or two.
Evidence and identity limits
The two 1828 entries are distinct mentions; whether they refer to one student or two remains unresolved. Glasgow-1780 remains a strong compatible candidate for the wider Institution, teaching and ministry sequence, but this award list alone does not establish the 1828 identity.

Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast Institution College Department awards, May 1828, list 'Jas. Glasgow of Broughshane' (Junior Division class) and, separately, James Glasgow (Logic and Belles Lettres, general eminence). The Broughshane student is probably James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780), whose family burial ground is Racavan, Broughshane. The Logic entry is only a possible match.

The same page also has a separate geographic “near Glasgow” and a separate James M’Clatchey.
Evidence and identity limits
The named Belfast College student is a possible match to Glasgow-1780 by the broader education-to-ministry sequence only; this notice alone does not identify him as the later Castledawson minister. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast College premiums, 1 May 1829: an essay prize 'On the Application of Testimony to Miraculous Events' went to James Glasgow, Belfast College (Logic class of the previous year). This fits James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780), later minister of Castledawson, but the list gives no place or parent, so the match stays possible.

Glasgow-1780 (James McClure Glasgow, b. 1805 near Clough) was educated at RBAI, licensed in 1834 and was minister of Castledawson from 1835, so chronology, institution and later ministry fit.

What the notice says
County of Antrim: List of Persons applying to Register their Freeholds, under 10 Geo. IV, cap. 8. No. 2324: Alex. Glasgow, Lisnagaver — Lands — Kilconway, townland of Lisnagaver.
Evidence and identity limits
Original page now inspected; replaces the earlier access-blocked heading/extract assessment. This is an application, not proof of admission. No age or relative is stated. Alexander-951 and older Alexander-3904 remain compatible; conflicting age estimates prevent an automatic identification. The property is Lisnagaver; Kilconway is the barony. Identity review (6 October 2026): County Antrim freehold-registration applications, June 1829: No. 2324, Alex. Glasgow, Lisnagaver, barony of Kilconway. Two existing Lisnagaver Alexanders remain compatible, Glasgow-951 and the older Glasgow-3904, and the notice gives nothing that separates them.
[b. c. 1811; d. 1888-05-16] · applicant to register a freehold at Lisnagaver (10 Geo. IV c. 8)Why this candidate?
The place agrees exactly: Lisnagaver, Rasharkin parish, barony of Kilconway. The 1834 Rasharkin tithe book has 'Alexr Glasgow' with 29 acres at Lisnagaver, a holding consistent with an 1829 £10 freehold, but which Alexander held it is unresolved on both profiles. Glasgow-951 was a farmer of Lisnagaver in 1851. His 1851 census age of 40 implies birth c.1811, which would make him about 18 in 1829, too young to register. His 1888 death at 84 implies birth c.1804, about 25 in 1829, so there is no firm age conflict. He was at Gortereghy in 1837-38. Glasgow-3904 is an older Alexander, born before c.1778 and reconstructed from descendant testimony. He is compatible but has no contemporary record of

What the notice says
At Belfast College premiums on 1 May 1830, James Glasgow of the Institution received the senior-course voluntary mathematics award and a premium for the third book of Locke’s Essay, proposed to the Logic class of the previous year.
Evidence and identity limits
The two 1828 entries are distinct mentions; whether they refer to one student or two remains unresolved. Glasgow-1780 remains a strong compatible candidate for the wider Institution, teaching and ministry sequence, but this award list alone does not establish the 1828 identity. These notices give no age, full middle name, parents or spouse; they establish no sibling relationship. Identity review (6 October 2026): 1 May 1830 Belfast College premiums: James Glasgow 'of the Institution' won the senior voluntary mathematics award and a Locke's Essay (logic) premium. He is the student James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780), whose RBAI mathematics career and General Certificate of 1832 are recorded independently in the Irish Presbyterian Fasti and the Dictionary of Ulster Biography; no relationship is stated.

An 1830 senior-course mathematics/logic prize is the expected step before the 1832 General Certificate silver medal (group 390568466). No other James Glasgow appears in the Fasti, Glasgow University rolls or WikiTree as a Belfast student c.1828-32.

Evidence and identity limits
Adam Dickie Glasgow-1781 and James McClure Glasgow-1780 are strong compatible candidates. James’s checked live biography names the Institution and mathematics, but its underlying education source was not newly read. The newspaper gives no ages or parents and does not call these men brothers. Their already documented sibling relationship is a comparison, not a new relationship upgrade. Identity review (6 October 2026): June 1830 RBAI school prize list: Adam D. Glasgow of Broughshane won trigonometry/astronomy and (as A. D. Glasgow) geometry and algebra prizes.

Evidence and identity limits
The secretary role and scheduled meeting remain valid. This notice does not identify James as the Institution student or minister; the Walter Moffat association remains supporting network context only. Identity review (6 October 2026): 12 November 1830: James Glasgow and Walter Moffat, secretaries of the Belfast Juvenile Society, announced its sixth annual meeting at Dr Cooke's May Street meeting-house. The student James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780) is the most plausible match but nothing in the notice proves it; no relationship is stated.
[b. 1805-05-27; d. 1890-06-30] · secretary, Belfast Juvenile SocietyWhy this candidate?
Only compatibility: a James Glasgow resident in Belfast in 1830-31 acting for a young people's religious society meeting at Dr Cooke's May Street meeting-house and sent as a deputation with Rev. Walter Moffat. James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780) was then a student at the Belfast Institution (prizes 1830-32, licensed 1834, later the first Irish Presbyterian missionary), so he fits age, place and religious activity, but the notice gives no designation, Institution affiliation or relative. Glasgow-3986 (Larne merchant b. c.1773, d. 1831), Glasgow-3444 (Cookstown, b. c.1776) and Glasgow-2981 (Dunaghy day-labourer b. c.1801) are older men documented elsewhere with no Belfast connection; retained

Evidence and identity limits
This is an application published on 24 December 1830, not proof that registration succeeded. Glasgow-3986 is the strongest compatible local candidate, but the notice gives no age, occupation, relatives or bridge to the 1795 merchant or 1797 junior. It does not connect Larne to Lisnagaver. Identity review (6 October 2026): December 1830 list of freehold-registration applicants for the Carrickfergus Quarter Sessions of 13 January 1831: no. 16 James Glasgow of Larne, houses and land in Upper Glenarm / Larne, GBP10 a year. Glasgow-3986 (James of Larne, b. c.1773, reported d. 1831) is compatible but unproved; the 1839 Demerara James (a native of Larne) is an unprofiled alternative. No relationship stated.

No age, occupation, relative or townland bridge; an 1831 death (month unknown) does not conflict with a January 1831 registration.

Evidence and identity limits
The March deputation role remains valid as a separate report from the November 1830 secretary notice. The two notices support one Society-role account, but do not by themselves prove identity with Glasgow-1780. Identity review (6 October 2026): 4 March 1831: Rev. Walter Moffat and Mr James Glasgow attended a Knockbracken meeting as the Belfast Juvenile Society's deputation. Same unproved James as the 1830 secretary notice; James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780) remains only a possible match; no relationship is stated.

Adam Dickie Glasgow-1781 and James McClure Glasgow-1780 are strong compatible candidates. James’s checked live biography names the Institution and mathematics, but its underlying education source was not newly read. The newspaper gives no ages or parents and does not call these men brothers. Their already documented sibling relationship is a comparison, not a new relationship upgrade. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast College report of 30 April 1831 names Adam D. Glasgow of Broughshane (mathematics) and James Glasgow of the Institution (voluntary advanced mathematics). They are the brothers Adam Dickey Glasgow (Glasgow-1781) and James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780); the notice does not call them brothers, and their sibling link is already on WikiTree and independently stated in the Fasti.

They are co-signatories; no kinship, occupation, age or individual townland is given. Castledawson and 4 July 1831 refer to the opposing meeting discussed in the declaration, not their homes or their signing date.
Evidence and identity limits
Robert Glasgow-3941, the Coltrim land occupier documented in 1820–1831, is a strong compatible regional candidate; the newspaper lacks a townland or family bridge to prove it. Glasgow-2656 of the Cookstown district remains another adult comparison. Glasgow-12 has an Ohio record sequence and is a weaker comparison despite Moneymore origin; the newspaper does not resolve his travel or retained Irish property. No Robert is identified as John’s father or brother, or as the surgeon’s father, from this signature. Glasgow-1968 is a compatible chronology comparison, but the 1827 Drummeen tithe subject is itself unproved as that profile. Glasgow-2058, Glasgow-3927 (an indexed freeholder with uncertain locality), Glasgow-2990 and Glasgow-4090 remain adult regional comparisons. No same-name co-signature establishes descent, brotherhood or identity with the Cookstown merchant. The declaration concerns a holding in the barony, not necessarily residence there. Identity review (6 October 2026): 16 August 1831 declaration by freeholders of the barony of Loughinsholin, Co. Londonderry, supporting Sir Robert Bateson, signed among others by Robert Glasgow and John Glasgow. Robert is possibly Robert of Coltrim, Lissan (Glasgow-3941); John cannot be assigned among several namesakes. The co-signature states no relationship.
[b. before 1776; d. after 1831] · freeholder of Loughinsholin barony, signatoryWhy this candidate?
Robert of Coltrim (Glasgow-3941) held a Drapers' Company lease at Coltrim from 1820 (a lease for lives would make him a freeholder), paid tithe there in 1827 and was a householder in the 1831 census under 'Londonderry / Loughinshollin / Lissane / Coltrim' - a landholder in this barony in this year. But the declaration gives no townland, and the PRONI freeholders' database has no Robert Glasgow registered in Co. Londonderry (only Robert of Loy, Tyrone). Glasgow-2656 (Cookstown, Tyrone) and Glasgow-12 (in Ohio long before 1831) are weaker/unlikely; the 1827 Dunnabraggy occupier may be another Robert. Possible, not probable.

Evidence and identity limits
1833 is inferred from “last” in the 1834 publication; no age or mother is stated. Both notices concern one death, not independent witnesses. Glasgow-3412 is a strong compatible surgery-graduate candidate, not a proved identity. The father was dead by 20 May 1834, distinct from the mill father who died in 1856. Robert-3941 remains compatible by chronology only. No existing-profile father confidence is upgraded. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 20 May 1834: Benjamin Glasgow, surgeon, formerly of Vera Cruz, died at New Orleans on 26 November 1833, son of the late Robert Glasgow of Cookstown. Benjamin is probably Glasgow-3412 (Glasgow University surgeon, 1825, 'Hibernus'); his father is not securely on WikiTree, so the parent link stays a research note.

What the notice says
The Belfast News-Letter reports that on Tuesday, 6 October 1835, Rev. James Glasgow was ordained to the pastoral charge of the Castledawson congregation in connection with the Synod of Ulster. Rev. Mr Wallace of Rasharkin preached, Rev. Mr Rogers of Kilrea gave the customary defence of Presbyterian ordination, and Rev. Mr Elder of Finvoy offered the ordination prayer. These clergy’s roles do not establish kinship or James’s residence in their locations. After the solemn service, the congregation entertained the Presbytery and Mr. Glasgow’s friends at a dinner at Mr. Oliver’s hotel.

Under ‘ORDINATION AT BELLAGHY,’ the report says the Magherafelt Presbytery ordained Rev. Gilbert Kirker Wilson to Bellaghy on ‘the 15th ult.’ Rev.

Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal, 21 January 1837, reprints the Ordnance list of 16 January: First Lieutenant George Mark Glasgow to be Second Captain, vice Freer. He is the Royal Artillery officer of Glasgow-3127 (probable), who is very probably also Glasgow-3785 (b. Quebec 1795, d. Kingston 1851) - a likely duplicate pair. No relationship stated.
[b. c. 1805; d. before 1846] · promoted Second Captain, vice Freer (Office of Ordnance, 16 Jan 1837)Why this candidate?
Full name 'George Mark Glasgow' is unique in WikiTree and the record set, and the office agrees: Glasgow-3127's biography quotes a printed county-families entry 'Madeline, dau. of the late George Mark Glasgow, Esq., Capt. R.A.' (m. George Nevile of Stubton 1846), i.e. he reached captain's rank in the Royal Artillery, which this 1837 promotion supplies; Askwith's RA officer list indexes a 'Glasgow, G. M.'. Glasgow-3785 (George Mark Glasgow, b. 15 Feb 1795 Quebec, d. 6 Jan 1851 Kingston, Canada West; death-duty index 1851) is almost certainly the same man: same rare full name, and a Quebec birth fits a son of Lt-Gen George Glasgow RA, eight of whose nine children were born in Canada (DCB). 312

Under the Office of Ordnance heading dated 16 January: ‘TO BE SECOND CAPTAINS—1st Lieut. George Mark Glasgow, vice Freer’; then ‘TO BE FIRST LIEUTENANTS—2d Lieut. George Carter Evelegh, vice Glasgow.’
Evidence and identity limits
The notice reports George Mark Glasgow appointed Second Captain from First Lieutenant, vice Freer; the following appointment of George Carter Evelegh as First Lieutenant, vice Glasgow, is consistent with the vacancy. The order is dated 16 January 1837 and was published 24 January. Glasgow-3127 is compatible with a previously reviewed profile biography reporting captain rank; Glasgow-3785 remains an exact-name chronological alternative and Glasgow-1536 a weaker linked comparison. Continuity with the 1825 notice and identity with any WikiTree profile remain unproved. The newspaper does not identify a birthplace, Irish residence/origin, or family relationship. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 24 January 1837: Office of Ordnance, 16 January - 1st Lieut. George Mark Glasgow to be Second Captain, vice Freer; 2nd Lieut. George Carter Evelegh to be First Lieutenant, vice Glasgow. Same promotion as the Freeman's Journal reprint; the officer is probably Glasgow-3127, itself probably a duplicate of Glasgow-3785.

What the notice says
The report describes the ordination of Rev. Samuel Smith to the Draperstown congregation by the Presbytery of Magherafelt on Tuesday 28 March 1837. After the service, the congregation entertained the Presbytery and friends at dinner. In its account of the gathering, it names Rev. J. Glasgow of Castledawson among the other speakers.
Evidence and identity limits
The printed name is Rev. J. Glasgow, not an expanded full name. Castledawson and the ministerial context make James McClure Glasgow-1780 a probable compatible candidate for this record within the already supported career sequence; the newspaper alone does not establish that full identity. The report does not change the pending call-date or ordination-date review, and no family relationship is inferred. Identity review (6 October 2026): At the dinner after Rev.

The report says Anne died on 23 June 1838 at printed Bally-cluck; the manslaughter defendant William M’Gowan was found not guilty.
Evidence and identity limits
The original report directly establishes these named relationships, the printed locality and the acquittal. It does not give ages, Jane’s spouse or residence, or Anne’s birth surname. Retain Bally-cluck as printed. The checked catalogue supports compatible but unproved Jane Glasgow comparisons McClure-6341 and Glasgow-1779; neither is selected or attached. No concrete candidate was located for Anne, John or Euphemia. Identity review (6 October 2026): Antrim Assizes, July 1838: William M'Gowan, a man-midwife, was acquitted of the manslaughter of Anne Armstrong, who died in childbirth on 23 June 1838 at Bally-cluck (Ballyclug, beside Ballymena/Broughshane). Euphemia Armstrong was the mother of Anne's husband John Armstrong, and Jane Glasgow was Anne's mother. Jane Glasgow is probably the widow Jane (McClure) Glasgow (McClure-6341) of the Racavan/Broughshane family, and Anne is possibly her daughter Glasgow-1779 'Jane Armstrong', whose gravestone gives 1837 - so the notice may supply that daughter's husband and true death date.

[b. c. 1799; d. c. 1837] · died 23 June 1838 at Bally-cluck after a difficult childbirth; wife of John Armstrong; daughter of Jane GlasgowWhy this candidate?
Glasgow-1779 is Jane (Glasgow) Armstrong, b. c.1799, daughter of John Glasgow and Jane McClure, 'died 1837 aged 38' per the Racavan stone transcription. Agreements: Glasgow-born daughter of a Jane Glasgow, married to an Armstrong, of childbearing age (38-39), died c.1837-38 in the parish next to Racavan. Conflicts: forename Anne (notice, twice) vs Jane (stone transcript) and year 1838 (notice, confirmed by the July 1838 assize) vs 1837 (transcript). Both could be transcription slips or an 'Anne Jane' double name, but neither is resolved, so only possible. If accepted, 1779's death should become 23 June 1838 at Ballyclug.

What the notice says
Under Hospital Staff, Surgeon A. Sinclair, M.D., from the 25th Foot, was appointed vice John Glasco, who retires upon half-pay.
Evidence and identity limits
Full name and retirement upon half-pay are stated; exact effective date was not seen. Links among this John, the 1836–1838 staff surgeon and the senior 1826 retiree remain qualified. This documentary sequence may involve one or more men; identity continuity is unresolved. Weak possible comparisons: Glasgow-2058: Weak comparison only: compatible chronology and later Cookstown merchant context, but no service, Liverpool, family, or surname-spelling bridge. Glasgow-3927: Weak comparison only: 1831 John Glasco of Inishrush, but no age or occupation and no military bridge; keep separate from proposed Glasgow-822 identity. Glasgow-822: Weak comparison only: chronology and Irish family context fit broadly, but Ohio records by 1833 create location tension with later Liverpool notices; no service bridge.

Rev. Adam D. Glasgow receives a unanimous call to Berry Street Presbyterian Church, Belfast, in connection with the General Synod of Ulster.
Evidence and identity limits
The repeated name and institutional setting support the education/teaching continuity; the ministerial continuation and attribution to Adam Dickie Glasgow-1781 remain qualified. The newspaper does not spell out Dickie or identify parents. 5 March is the presentation date, not a proved ordination date. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 17 Jan 1840: Rev. Adam D. Glasgow gets a unanimous call to Berry Street Presbyterian Church, Belfast. The NZ Presbyterian register independently names Adam Dickie Glasgow as minister of Berry Street, so the subject is Glasgow-1781 (raised to strong).

What the notice says
On Saturday last, the Rev. James Glasgow, of Castledawson, in the county Derry, to Miss Mary Wightman, of Belfast.
Evidence and identity limits
“Saturday last” is inferred as 27 June 1840, a Saturday. James McClure Glasgow-1780 is the strongest profile match: the checked profile records the same bride and date in Belfast, and his documented ministry was at Castledawson. The notice does not state a middle name. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal, 1 Jul 1840: Rev. James Glasgow of Castledawson married Miss Mary Wightman of Belfast on 27 June 1840. Groom is Glasgow-1780 and bride is Wightman-3457. The marriage is already linked, and the Dictionary of Ulster Biography and the Londonderry Sentinel corroborate it.

What the notice says
In the General Assembly report, “The Assembly then proceeded to set apart two Missionaries to India—namely, the Rev. James Glasgow, of Castledawson, and the Rev. Alexander Kerr, of Portadown.” They stated their motives and were set apart for the India mission. No exact meeting date is supplied in this excerpt. Elsewhere on the same page, a separate report says two Synod ministers, Messrs. Adam Glasgow and James Carr, offered for the Synod’s foreign mission to India; this is a distinct passage and establishes no relationship to James. A separate General Synod report says ordained ministers Messrs. Adam Glasgow and James Carr offered themselves for the Synod’s foreign mission in India and were accepted; Kathiawar or Guzerat was selected as their first field, with a planned 4 August departure overland to Bombay. This is separate from the General Assembly passage about Rev. James Glasgow and Alexander Kerr.
Evidence and identity limits
Castledawson and India mission career are probable matches to Glasgow-1780 as a continuing subject; the printed source does not state a middle name. Do not describe this appointment as made by the Synod: the selected paragraph explicitly says the Assembly. Adam Glasgow in a separate earlier clause is a separate person occurrence; no kinship is inferred. The printed line breaks the place across lines as “Porta-/down,” read as Portadown. The place is printed across a line break as “Porta-/down,” read as Portadown. The Adam Glasgow passage is a distinct occurrence; no kinship with James or Robert Glasgow is implied. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 14 Jul 1840: the General Assembly sets apart Rev. James Glasgow of Castledawson and Rev. Alexander Kerr of Portadown as missionaries to India. A separate Synod passage says Adam Glasgow and James Carr offered themselves for India. James is Glasgow-1780 (strong) and Adam is Glasgow-1781 (probable). The notice states no kinship.
[b. 1805-05-27; d. 1890-06-30] · missionary set apart for IndiaWhy this candidate?
Castledawson plus the 1840 India mission with Kerr is a unique designation. The Dictionary of Ulster Biography and PHSI both record that Glasgow and Kerr were the General Assembly's first two missionaries.

What the notice says
Marriage notice: on 25 July 1840 (reported as “25th ult.”), Mr James Small, of Lottery Cottage, county Armagh, married Miss Margaret Small of this town; the officiant was Rev. Adam Glasgow.
Evidence and identity limits
Minister/officiant occurrence, not kinship. Keep adjacent London/St George’s wedding separate. Strongly compatible with Glasgow-1781, without unique identification.

At a Congregational and Sabbath-School Soiree connected with the Presbyterian Church, Townsend-street, devotional exercises were conducted by “the Rev. Adam Glasgow, of Berry-street.”
Evidence and identity limits
“Of Berry-street” is the printed church association for Rev. Adam Glasgow, not proof of residence. The name, church, and chronology strongly fit the existing qualified Glasgow-1781 Belfast minister candidate; the newspaper does not give Adam’s middle name or a unique profile bridge. A separate later passage names Rev. James Glasgow, Missionary to India; this is compatible with Glasgow-1780 but does not uniquely identify him. Their co-occurrence is not evidence of kinship.

What the notice says
Cookstown Academy seeks a classical/commercial teacher; Mr Robert Glasgow, chairman of the superintending committee, is the Cookstown applicant contact. Dated 28 October 1840. A separate Townsend-street soirée passage says Rev. Adam Glasgow opened the proceedings on Tuesday evening, 27 October 1840; Rev. Josias Wilson closed with prayer. This is distinct from the Cookstown Academy passage about Robert Glasgow.
Evidence and identity limits
The notices name roles, not his age or family. The 1836 contact is not explicitly described as innkeeper or owner. The Academy is not described as a Sunday school. Consolidated as a same-name Cookstown research account; identity between the notices, the mill partner, Robert-2656 and Robert-3941 remains unproved. Neither notice identifies the already-deceased father of the surgeon. The Adam Glasgow passage is a distinct occurrence; no kinship with James or Robert Glasgow is implied. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 30 Oct 1840: Mr Robert Glasgow is chairman of the Cookstown Academy committee, and a separate Townsend Street soiree on 27 Oct was opened by Rev. Adam Glasgow. Adam is Glasgow-1781 (probable). Robert is most plausibly Robert Glasgow Esq. of Tullyreagh (Glasgow-2656), but only possible.
[b. c. 1798; d. 1856-08-20] · chairman, Cookstown Academy superintending committeeWhy this candidate?
A committee chairman would be a man of local standing. Glasgow-2656 is 'Robert Glasgow, Esq.', who died at Tullyreagh, Cookstown, on 20 Aug 1856 (Londonderry Sentinel 29 Aug 1856, transcription); his age (b. c.1798) fits. Slater's 1846 also lists a Robert Glasgow, oatmeal merchant, William Street, Cookstown, who may be the same man. Nothing links the chairman to Tullyreagh. Glasgow-3941 died in 1831 per the catalogue, a concrete conflict, so unlikely. Glasgow-587 (b. c.1830) is too young.

Identity unresolved. The printed name is Rev. A. J. Glasgow, with no expanded forename, age, congregation, kin or birthplace. Glasgow-1781 is possible despite the material printed-J / other-notice D conflict; Glasgow-1780 is unlikely given the documented Bombay chronology.

What the notice says
Margaret Jane, infant daughter of Rev. James Glasgow, missionary to Kattywar for the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, died at Rajkote, East Indies, on 11 June 1841, aged two months and 26 days. This agrees with Margaret Jane Glasgow-2898’s current death date and its 16 March birth chronology.

Strong matching name, father, place and date support Glasgow-2898 and her already attached father Glasgow-1780. The notice does not name her mother or birthplace.

Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 10 Sep 1841: Margaret Jane, infant daughter of Rev. James Glasgow, missionary to Kattywar, died at Rajkote on 11 June 1841 aged 2 months 26 days. The child is Glasgow-2898 and the father Glasgow-1780 (already linked). Read with the 1840 marriage and the Dictionary of Ulster Biography, her mother is Mary Wightman-3457. That link is missing and is proposed as uncertain.

What the notice says
Under “GENERAL ASSEMBLY’S FOREIGN MISSION—SICKNESS AND DEATH OF THE REV. A. KERR,” the newspaper says a communication from Rev. Mr. Glasgow was read about fellow missionary Alexander Kerr. The letter is dated “Rajkote, 14th August, 1841” and is signed “James Glasgow.” In this context “brother missionary” means colleague/fellow worker, not a biological brother. A separate second letter dated 18 August begins below the signature; its author/signature is outside this crop and should not be attributed by adjacency.
Evidence and identity limits
The signed India-mission letter is a probable match to Glasgow-1780 in the established career sequence. The letter’s date (14 August) is separate from the newspaper publication date (19 October). Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 19 Oct 1841: a letter dated Rajkote 14 Aug 1841 and signed James Glasgow on the illness and death of Rev. Alexander Kerr.

What the notice says
Under “MARRIED”: “On the 30th ult. by the Rev. Dr. Cooke, at the house of the lady’s uncle, Thomas Corbett, Esq. May-street, the Rev. Adam Glasgow to Miss Jane Thompson.”
Evidence and identity limits
The notice records Rev. Adam Glasgow as groom and Miss Jane Thompson as bride, married on 30 December 1841 (derived from “30th ult.” in the 4 January 1842 issue). Thomas Corbett is described as the bride’s uncle; no parentage or family branch is stated. May-street identifies the house where the notice says the wedding took place, not Adam’s residence. This is compatible with, but does not prove, identification of the bride as the tree-linked Jane Fulton (Thompson) Glasgow or the groom as Glasgow-1781. Keep the profile/spouse matches qualified. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 4 Jan 1842: Rev. Adam Glasgow married Miss Jane Thompson on 30 Dec 1841 at the house of her uncle Thomas Corbett, May Street, Belfast. The NZ register says Adam Dickie Glasgow of Berry Street married Jane Thompson of Co. Down (b. 1822), so both identities are strong: Glasgow-1781 and Thompson-100184, already linked as spouses.

What the notice says
“Designation of Four Missionaries of the General Assembly”: the Presbytery of Belfast set apart four ministers as fellow-labourers in Hindostan with Rev. James Glasgow: Rev. Adam Glasgow, James M’Kee, Robert Montgomery, and James Henry Spears.
Evidence and identity limits
The source is a missionary account, not the adjacent Repeal report. James McClure Glasgow-1780 is a probable match to Rev. James Glasgow from his documented Presbyterian Church in Ireland missionary career. Adam Dickie Glasgow-1781 is a possible match to Rev. Adam Glasgow based on his checked minister profile, but the article supplies no middle name or other identity bridge. Their co-occurrence establishes no kinship. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal, 14 Jan 1842: the Presbytery of Belfast designated four missionaries (Rev. Adam Glasgow, James M'Kee, Robert Montgomery and James Henry Spears) to join Rev. James Glasgow in Hindostan. Adam is Glasgow-1781 and James is Glasgow-1780, both strong.

What the notice says
Under the designation of four missionaries to India, the report names the Rev. Adam Glasgow and says he was “brother of the Rev. Jas. Glasgow.” The ceremony is reported as a Belfast Presbytery service at Dr. Cooke’s church, May Street.
Evidence and identity limits
The report explicitly describes the named Rev. Adam Glasgow as brother of Rev. Jas. Glasgow. This wording corroborates the already documented Adam/James sibling relationship in James McClure Glasgow’s first-person journal and the Knox Church history; do not treat this as an additional independent relationship or a certainty upgrade. Adam Dickie Glasgow-1781 and James McClure Glasgow-1780 remain compatible profile candidates, but the newspaper does not spell out either middle name or uniquely identify either person. This is a report of the same missionary-designation service also reported by the Freeman’s Journal on 14 January 1842; independence between reports is not assumed. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 14 Jan 1842: at the designation of four missionaries, Rev. Adam Glasgow is called 'brother of the Rev. Jas. Glasgow'. Both identities are strong, and the NZ register independently names Adam's brother as Dr James Glasgow. The brothers are already linked through shared parents.

Evidence and identity limits
Identifies the already documented Nancy Glasgow-3907 and father Adam Glasgow-3902; direct evidence for father-child relationship and marriage, with no age, mother, or place of marriage stated. Separate preceding notice uses Glasgow as Rev John Rogers’s place, not surname. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 1 Feb 1842: John Kyle of Tyanee married Nancy, sixth daughter of Mr Adam Glasgow of Inishrush, Co. Derry, on 14 Jan 1842. Nancy Glasgow-3907, Adam Glasgow-3902 and John Kyle-3461 are already linked as daughter and father and as spouses. The Londonderry Sentinel of 29 Jan 1842 reports the same marriage.
Nancy Glasgow of Inishrush, daughter of Adam-3902 and spouse of Kyle-3461. Her name, her father's name, Inishrush and the groom together form a record-level bridge, and there is no competing Nancy.
[b. c. 1758; d. 1844-06-30] · bride's fatherWhy this candidate?
'Of Inishrush' is a unique designation in 1842, and Adam-3902 (d. 1844) is already Nancy's linked father. The later Adam of Inishrush (Glasgow-2419, b. 1853) is excluded by chronology. His son Adam-1622 (b. c.1794) is a much weaker alternative. [Independent check 6 October 2026: downgrade — 'Of Inishrush' is not unique. Adam Glasgow-1622 is a separate, record-defined Adam (named as father of James, 38, farmer of Inishrush, in the 1851 marriage). The local findings keep him distinct, and his being 3902's son is 'not proved'. A sixth daughter marrying in 1842 fits Adam-1622 (b. by c.1792) at least as well as 3902 (b. c.1758, wife Rose b. 1767; Nancy's guessed 1822 birth is impossible for Rose)
The profile already records John Kyle as Nancy-3907's husband; name and marriage agree.

What the notice says
The 5 April 1842 Belfast News-Letter passage invokes “Glasgow in India” in a comparison of missionary and clerical conduct in the Indies and Ireland. It names no forename and describes no particular event.
Evidence and identity limits
The surrounding passage treats Glasgow as an individual missionary in India, not a place. James McClure Glasgow-1780 is a probable contextual candidate because his documented missionary career places him in India in this period; this surname-only comparison does not identify him by forename or independently prove the profile assignment, origin, or any family relationship. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 5 Apr 1842: a surname-only reference to 'Glasgow in India'. Probably James McClure Glasgow-1780; Adam-1781 had only been designated in Jan 1842.
[b. 1805-05-27; d. 1890-06-30] · missionary referred toWhy this candidate?
James had been in India since Feb 1841 and was the established Glasgow missionary there. Adam was designated in Jan 1842 and reached Rajkot by 16 May 1842 (BNL 29 Jul 1842), so he is a weaker competitor for an April 1842 reference. [Independent check 6 October 2026: downgrade — A surname-only rhetorical reference with no forename or event. Adam was designated in Jan 1842 and wrote from Rajkote on 16 May 1842, so he may already have been in India. A single contextual agreement does not reach probable.]

A separate editorial passage says: “The Rev. James Glasgow is much to be envied. The first Moderator of the first Indian Presbytery—he who stood alone among millions of heathens—will occupy an honoured page in the history of Christian missions.” Publication date is 29 July 1842. The same issue separately prints a letter by Rev. Adam Glasgow, datelined Rajkote, 16 May 1842; that date belongs to Adam’s letter, not to the James editorial.
Evidence and identity limits
The named James is a probable match to Glasgow-1780 in the documented Castledawson/India missionary sequence. The editorial supplies no full middle name or kinship statement; Adam’s adjacent letter is a distinct source passage. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 29 Jul 1842: an editorial praises Rev. James Glasgow as 'first Moderator of the first Indian Presbytery', and a separate letter by Rev.

Moneymore is where he was examined, not an explicit home townland. The date of his examination, age and relatives are unstated. Cookstown farmers Samuel-2054 and Samuel-1698 are compatible; Lisnagaver Samuel-2908 is a weaker regional comparison, without a locality or occupation bridge. No connection to Lisnagaver is established.

Glasgow-2054 is a possible candidate, with Glasgow-1698 equally compatible.
[b. c. 1792; d. 1865-06-22] · farmer examined at MoneymoreWhy this candidate?
The Staples estate centred on Lissan, between Cookstown and Moneymore. Glasgow-2054 (c.1792-1865, Gortin, Derryloran) was a Cookstown farmer whose son John-2537 died at Cluntyganny, Lissan, which slightly favours him. Glasgow-1698 (c.1800-1857, Killycurragh) is equally compatible. Glasgow-2908 (Lisnagaver, Rasharkin, Co. Antrim) lives far from Moneymore, so he is weaker, but no concrete conflict excludes him.

Marriage notice reports that on 25th ult at Paisley George Sherbrooke Airey, Esq., Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, son of the late Lieutenant-General Sir George Airey, married Anne, second daughter of the late Robert Glasgow, Esq.; at the same time Rev George Drake, son of Rev John Drake, rector of Stourton, married Charlotte Maria Cecilia, youngest daughter of the late Robert Glasgow, Esq., of Montgreenan, county Ayr. Original passage visually checked. 25 August 1847 is inferred from ‘25th ult’ and the 2 September issue date.
Evidence and identity limits
The notice directly reports the two marriages and names the two brides as daughters of the same late Robert Glasgow; it explicitly places the latter Robert at Montgreenan, Ayr. Robertson-30564 is a probable candidate for this Robert because his local profile account says he inherited Montgreenan, took the Glasgow surname in 1828, and died in 1845; do not conflate him with Glasgow-1076 (1747–1827). Anne Glasgow-3000 is a possible daughter match; Charlotte Glasgow-3003 is a strong compatible match by her distinctive names and existing Drake profile link; Rev George Drake-13873 is a probable match. No compatible George Sherbrooke Airey profile was found in the bounded approved local lookup. Record-level father and marriage claims are separate from assigning the record people to profiles; profile-level relationship transitions remain pending, with prior local status unknown/tree-only. The notice names no mothers and says nothing about Irish origin. Identity review (6 October 2026): Freeman's Journal, 2 Sep 1847: a double wedding at Paisley on 25 Aug 1847. Lt George Sherbrooke Airey RN married Anne, second daughter, and Rev George Drake married Charlotte Maria Cecilia, youngest daughter, of the late Robert Glasgow Esq. of Montgreenan. The father is Robertson-30564 (strong): he died in 1845, his son lived to 1860, and Dr Robert Glasgow (d. 1827) had no issue. Charlotte-3003 is strong, Anne-3000 and Drake-13873 probable. Airey has no profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: George Sherbrooke Airey, Esq., Lieutenant R.N..
[b. 1775-11-06; d. 1845-01-27] · father of both bridesWhy this candidate?
Unique designation 'of Montgreenan', described as 'the late' in Sept 1847. Of the Montgreenan owners: Dr Robert Glasgow-1076 died in 1827 with no offspring (Wikipedia), so he is excluded.

His son Robert Robertson-Glasgow inherited in 1845 and lived to 1860 (thepeerage), so he cannot be 'the late' in 1847. Only Robertson-30564 survives.

At Surat, East Indies, the wife of Rev. James Glasgow, Presbyterian Church in Ireland missionary, gave birth to a daughter on 22 February, reported on 11 April 1848. The child is unnamed; Annie Coulson Glasgow-2901, whose checked profile gives 1848 in India, is a compatible candidate.
Evidence and identity limits
1848 is inferred from the contemporary notice’s February date. Neither child nor mother is named. The notice cannot alone make Annie’s exact birth date/place certain or establish Mary Wightman’s motherhood of another child. Her existing father/mother connections are not changed. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 11 Apr 1848: the wife of Rev. James Glasgow gave birth to a daughter at Surat on 22 Feb 1848.

The Dictionary of Ulster Biography lists the daughters as Margaret Jane (1841), Jane Henrie (c.1844), Mary Elizabeth (1845), Annie Coulson (1848) and Harriet (1851). Annie Coulson is the only one born in 1848, and the profile gives 1848, India.

What the notice says
Cookstown—John Glasgow, merchant, in John Cassell’s coffee agent list on 30 September 1848. The original product text and agents were inspected.
Evidence and identity limits
Glasgow-2058 is compatible by name, Cookstown district and the merchant occupation independently recorded in Benjamin-2059’s 1856 marriage. None of these advertisements names relatives, age or street address. Repeated agent lists are advertisements for one trading role, not independent family proofs. John’s parents remain unknown. Glasgow-1968 remains a weaker comparison: his family histories give migration to Michigan in 1844 or 1848; the Drummeen tithe and 1850/1851 probate leads are not securely assigned to him, and probate year is not a death date. Identity review (6 October 2026): Sligo Champion, 30 Sep 1848: John Glasgow, merchant, Cookstown, in John Cassell's list of coffee agents. Glasgow-2058 is a possible candidate. New lead: the Londonderry Sentinel reports that Mr John Glasgow, merchant, died at Cookstown on 4 May 1851 aged 49, which conflicts with 2058's 1788 birth estimate.
[b. before 1788; d. ?] · coffee and tea agentWhy this candidate?
Glasgow-2058 fits by name, trade and district: he is the father of merchant Benjamin-2059 (married 1856). The Londonderry Sentinel of 9 May 1851 (transcription) reads 'At Cookstown, on the 4th inst., aged 49 years, Mr. John Glasgow, merchant', so this merchant was born c.1802. If he is Glasgow-2058, the 1788 birth estimate is wrong, and Henry-1735 (b. c.1810) could not be his son. Glasgow-1968 is weaker, since his family histories have him emigrating to Michigan in 1844 or 1848. Glasgow-2056 (1812-1898) is not the 1851 decedent. Slater's 1846 lists no John Glasgow in Cookstown trades.

Evidence and identity limits
A further original advertisement in the 1848–1850 Cookstown trading sequence, including Cassell tea as well as coffee. Repeated advertisements do not provide independent family proof. John Glasgow-2058 remains compatible by name, locality and merchant occupation; no age, address, parents or uncle link appears. Identity review (6 October 2026): Cassell coffee and five-shilling tea advertisement (Belfast News-Letter, 22 Feb 1850) naming John Glasgow as Cookstown agent.

Glasgow-2058 (John, b. before 1788, father of Henry-1735 and Benjamin-2059; named 'John Glasgow, merchant' in Benjamin's 15 April 1856 First Cookstown marriage per the live profile) agrees on name, district and trade, but nothing bridges the shop agent to him: his Cookstown-town residence is undocumented, and Slater's 1846 Cookstown directory lists no John Glasgow among traders (only William, draper, and Robert, oatmeal merchant, both William St). Pigot 1824 lists a John Glasgow, publican, Cookstown, a possible earlier trading John but also unbridged.

What the notice says
Master Benjamin Glasgow of Cookstown is listed for one shilling towards support of scholars in the agricultural school in June 1850.
Evidence and identity limits
A donor list, not proof that Benjamin attended the school. “Master” supplies no exact age. Benjamin-2059 (reported born about 1835) and Benjamin-2566 (about 1840) are compatible young catalogue namesakes; assignment to either, or to the Drapersfield Benjamin, is unresolved. The surgeon who died in 1833 is excluded. Identity review (6 October 2026): Subscription list (Belfast News-Letter, 28 Jun 1850): 'Master Benjamin Glasgow of Cookstown' gave one shilling to the agricultural school. Three Cookstown Benjamins are compatible and none is proved; no relationships.
[b. c. 1835; d. 1870-02-08] · subscriber (boy)Why this candidate?
'Master' marks a boy or youth, with no age. Glasgow-2059 (b. c.1835; aged 20 at his April 1856 marriage, son of John, merchant) would be about 15 in 1850, which fits. Glasgow-2566 (b. c.1840, son of George, farmer, Killycurragh) would be about 10, which also fits. The Drapersfield Benjamin, Glasgow-4340, was managing his father's mill from 1850 (1858 testimony), so 'Master' fits him less well, though his birth year is unknown. The 1833 surgeon is excluded because he died before this. Nothing in the list discriminates, so possible only.

What the notice says
John Glasgow is listed at Cookstown among agents selling John Cassell’s coffees.
Evidence and identity limits
The advertisement states the agent’s name, Cookstown and the coffee product. It gives no merchant title, age, street address or kin. The August and October 1850 issues document the same named agency role; repeated advertisements are not independent family proof. Glasgow-2058 remains a possible match by the wider Cookstown and merchant chronology; Glasgow-1968 remains the weaker comparison because reported Michigan migration weakens a later Irish assignment. Identity review (6 October 2026): Cassell coffee agent listing repeated in the Sligo Champion, Fermanagh Mail and Belfast News-Letter (Aug-Oct 1850) naming John Glasgow at Cookstown.

Glasgow-2056, Glasgow-2537 and Glasgow-867 are adult chronology comparisons only, with no checked constabulary connection. An administrative Drogheda probate label on a different John lead is not evidence of Drogheda residence or police service.

Retired merchant Glasgow-3814 is a strong compatible candidate; kinship to 1858 partners remains unproved. Identity review (6 October 2026): Report (Belfast News-Letter, 4 Jan 1856) of a presentation at the Imperial Hotel, Belfast, to William Glasgow Esq. of Cookstown on his retirement from business. This is probably the draper and retired merchant William Glasgow-3814; no kin are named.

Three independent agreements. (1) Slater's 1846 lists one William Glasgow trading in Cookstown: linen and woollen draper, William Street. (2) Glasgow-3814's 1883 civil death return (Loy, Cookstown; aged 87; bachelor) calls him a retired merchant. (3) A retirement in 1856 fits a man born c.1796. Competitors are weaker: Glasgow-1675 died in Ohio in 1855; 1737 and 1694 were Killycurragh farmers; the Drapersfield partner William was still trading in 1858-1866. No relative is named, so this is not strong.

What the notice says
The named witness Benjamin Glasgow identifies the late Robert Glasgow as his father, says he managed his father’s mill from 1850, and dates Robert’s death to 1856. Benjamin’s evidence describes a companion as “witness’s uncle, Mr. Glasgow, sen.”; identification as William belongs to the separate case context, not this quotation.
Evidence and identity limits
Certain documentary father–son relationship; identification of Robert with Glasgow-2656 or Glasgow-3941 remains qualified. Counsel’s reference to Robert’s sons supports a qualified brother inference for co-plaintiff William. The uncle’s paternal or maternal side and all mothers are unstated. No parents are established for John Glasgow-2058. Identity review (6 October 2026): Court report (Belfast News-Letter, 22 July 1858): the witness Benjamin Glasgow says his late father Robert Glasgow died in 1856 and that he had managed Robert's mill since 1850; he calls a companion 'witness's uncle, Mr. Glasgow, sen.' Benjamin is probably the Drapersfield Benjamin, Glasgow-4340, and Robert probably Glasgow-2656, so a father link 4340 to 2656 can be added as uncertain.
· witness and plaintiff, mill managerWhy this candidate?
Identity chain for the Drapersfield Benjamin: (a) he is co-plaintiff with William against Sloan in 1858, a mill water-course case, and testifies that he managed his late father Robert's mill from 1850; (b) 'Benjamin and William Glasgow, Drapersfield Mills, Cookstown' are the contacts in Jan 1864 for a house formerly occupied by the late Robert Glasgow; (c) 'Benjamin Glasgow of Drapersfield, Cookstown' married Wilhelmina Pike at Dungannon on 16 Feb 1864, the exact date and district of the GRONI index entry (M/1864/T1/1447/2/35) on Glasgow-4340, whose Cookstown children 1865-1876 have mother's maiden name Pike; (d) Slater's 1846 lists 'Glasgow & Wool[s], flax & tow spinners, Draper's field' an
[b. c. 1798; d. 1856-08-20] · father of witness; mill owner, d. 1856Why this candidate?
Robert died in 1856 (son's sworn testimony) and owned the mill Benjamin managed from 1850. Glasgow-2656, 'Robert Glasgow Esq', died 20 Aug 1856 at Tullyveigh, Cookstown (Prerogative probate 1856, PRONI pre-1858 wills index cited on profile), and married on 10 Mar 1829, as 'Mr Robert Glasgow, of Cookstown', Margaret, daughter of John George of Coagh (BNL 13 Mar 1829, quoted on George-14386). That fits a son of mill-managing age by 1850 and agrees with Slater 1846 (Robert Glasgow, oatmeal merchant; Glasgow & Wool[s] spinners, Draper's field). Naming supports it: Benjamin's eldest daughter is 'Margaret George Glasgow' (1891), and John George Glasgow-3889 (c.1831-1870; daughter married at Newry,
[b. c. 1796; d. 1883-07-04] · uncle of witnessWhy this candidate?
'Sen.' and the uncle relationship fit an older Cookstown Glasgow of Robert's generation. Glasgow-3814 (b. c.1796, the William St draper who retired in 1856, a bachelor at his death in 1883) is the only such man in the 1846 directory besides Robert. The forename is not given, and 'Mr. Glasgow' implies a paternal uncle or one by marriage bearing the name. Possible only.

What the notice says
Continuation of Benjamin and William Glasgow v John Sloan; Benjamin approached Sloan about levels in 1856; jury awarded 6d damages and 6d costs.
Evidence and identity limits
Confirms same named partners; no ages or additional parental identification. Identity review (6 October 2026): Continuation of Benjamin and William Glasgow v John Sloan (Belfast News-Letter, 23 July 1858): Benjamin approached Sloan about levels in 1856, and the jury awarded 6d damages and 6d costs. Benjamin is probably Glasgow-4340. Partner William has no secure profile; he is probably Benjamin's brother but is not stated as such here.
Same case as 22 July 1858. The identity chain (partnership naming shared with the 1864 Drapersfield Mills notice; Drapersfield marriage on 4340's exact GRONI date) is given in group 390574459.
[b. c. 1796; d. 1883-07-04] · co-plaintiff (mill partner)Why this candidate?
The partner William of Drapersfield Mills (1858-1866) has no secure profile. Counsel's reference to Robert's sons (22 July report) makes him probably Benjamin's brother. If so, Glasgow-1737 conflicts, because his 1846 marriage names his father David and he was a Killycurragh farmer, so he is unlikely. The other option is the uncle, Glasgow-3814 (bachelor draper, retired 1856), who could have stayed a mill partner. The 1858 evidence names 'Mr. Glasgow, sen.' separately from the co-plaintiff, which favours a younger William. Glasgow-1694 and -2316 are farmers with no mill link. Possible against 3814 only; no draft until the partnership is resolved.

What the notice says
Shocking catastrophe at Rasharkin: Robt. Glasgow, described as a neighbour at Lisnagaver, warned James M’Caughern about a dangerous gable before it fell; Glasgow narrowly escaped while leaving the doorway and raised the alarm.
Evidence and identity limits
Genuine Glasgow surname in a local incident. Robert-938 and Robert-3449 remain compatible candidates; no age, parents, occupation or link to a valuation holding is stated. A later Scottish death does not exclude Robert-938 being in Ireland in 1861. Identity review (6 October 2026): Accident report (Belfast News-Letter, 7 Jan 1861) from Rasharkin: Robert Glasgow, a neighbour at Lisnagaver, warned James M'Caughern about a dangerous gable, escaped its fall and raised the alarm. Robert is probably Glasgow-938, who lived at Lisnagaver in 1851 and 1866. James M'Caughern is unresolved. No kin are stated.
[b. about 1840–1841; d. 1902-11-27] · neighbour at LisnagaverWhy this candidate?
Glasgow-938 (b. c.1840) was in his father Alexander's Lisnagaver household in the 1851 census (age 10), and his 5 Apr 1866 civil marriage calls him a bachelor farmer of Lisnagaver. Lisnagaver residence is documented on both sides of 1861. Competitors: Glasgow-3449 (b. c.1797, married labourer, died in Ballymoney Workhouse 1868) is linked to Lisnagaver only by an unproved 1834 tithe candidacy; Robert Irvine Glasgow-3897 (b. 1827) belongs to Daniel's Kilrea family. Probable, not strong: no age or father is given.
WikiTree has McCaughern-22 (James, farmer, father of John McCaughern of Gortereghy, 1851 Rasharkin marriage; probable 1834 Gortereghy tithe occupier) and Mc_Caughern-19 (James, 1824-1889, Ballydonnelly, Rasharkin; Ancestry-tree source only). Robert-938 later held a house at Gortereghy (1864 revision), which slightly favours McCaughern-22. Possible only. Robert-938's mother Mary McCaughan has a similar surname, but no kinship is stated.

Benjamin is the Drapersfield Benjamin Glasgow-4340, and the late Robert is probably Glasgow-2656. No kinship is stated.
[b. c. 1798; d. 1856-08-20] · former resident of the houseWhy this candidate?
As group 390574459 (1856 death, 'of Cookstown' 1829 marriage to Margaret George, Slater 1846 Robert and the Draper's field spinning firm). Here the late Robert's former house is handled by the Drapersfield mill partners, which ties the mill-owner Robert of 1858 to the Drapersfield firm. Glasgow-3941 (d. 1831) is unlikely.
A Drapersfield Benjamin acting in Jan 1864, four weeks before 'Benjamin Glasgow of Drapersfield' married at Dungannon on the exact date indexed on 4340 (GRONI M/1864/T1/1447/2/35).

What the notice says
Benjamin Glasgow of Drapersfield, Cookstown, married Wilhelmina, eldest daughter of Richard Pike, Esq., of Beechgrove, Dungannon, at Dungannon on 16 February 1864.
Evidence and identity limits
The original notice gives his wife and her father but no groom age or father. It belongs to the consolidated Drapersfield account; do not assign Wilhelmina as mother of every later child without further evidence. Identity review (6 October 2026): Marriage notice (Belfast News-Letter, 18 Feb 1864): Benjamin Glasgow of Drapersfield, Cookstown, married Wilhelmina, eldest daughter of Richard Pike Esq. of Beechgrove, Dungannon, at Dungannon on 16 Feb 1864. The groom is Glasgow-4340. The bride is Wilhelmina Pike-9903 (Quaker birth 1842, eldest child of Richard Pike-9902). The 'Unknown Pike' Pike-17078 now married to 4340 is the same woman and should be merged into Pike-9903.
Glasgow-4340 rests on the GRONI index 'Benjamin Glasgow and Pike, 16 February 1864, Dungannon district' (M/1864/T1/1447/2/35). Date, district and bride's surname are exact. His Cookstown children with mother's maiden name Pike include Richard (b. 10 Apr 1865, named for Richard Pike) and Margaret (b. 7 Nov 1867, the 'eldest daughter' of 1891). No other Benjamin Glasgow/Glascow/Glasco is married to a Pike. 2059 (married Jane Little 1856) and 2566 (bachelor in 1876) are excluded.
Pike-9903 is 'Wilhemina' [sic] Pike, born 11 Nov 1842 at Torren Hill, Co. Tyrone, daughter of Richard and Margaret Pike (Grange Quaker birth register, cited on profile). She is the first child of Richard-9902 (married 1842), so she exactly fits 'eldest daughter'. Pike-17078 ('Unknown' Pike, est. b. 1839, spouse of Glasgow-4340, created from the marriage index without a forename) is the same woman. Propose merging 17078 into 9903 and correcting the spelling to Wilhelmina. Searches for Wilhelmina/Minnie Pike and Wilhelmina Glasgow found no other candidate.
Pike-9902 Richard Pike was born 13 June 1815 at Beechgrove (Quaker birth register) and died 3 Feb 1885 at Dungannon, 'of Beechgrove'. That is a unique designation, and his eldest child is Wilhelmina, b. 1842. His father Jonathan of Beechgrove died in 1860. His son Richard (b. 1856) was too young. No competitor.

Benjamin Glasgow Esq., of Drapersfield, granted use of a field for the 12 July Cookstown gathering.
Evidence and identity limits
Later identity control: current action after Benjamin-2059’s February death strongly distinguishes the two Benjamins. Identity review (6 October 2026): Report (Belfast News-Letter, 15 July 1870): Benjamin Glasgow Esq. of Drapersfield lent a field for the 12 July gathering at Cookstown. This is firmly Glasgow-4340. Benjamin-2059 (died Feb 1870) is excluded, and Glasgow-2566, the earlier possible, is unlikely.
· lent field for 12 July gatheringWhy this candidate?
'Of Drapersfield' is the unique designation of the Benjamin who married Wilhelmina Pike in 1864 (= 4340). His Pike-mothered children were still registered at Cookstown in 1872 and 1876. Glasgow-2059 died 8 Feb 1870, so he is excluded. Glasgow-2566 is unlikely: his 11 Jan 1876 marriage register describes him as the unmarried son of George, farmer of Killycurragh, while the Drapersfield Benjamin was a married mill owner whose Pike wife bore twins at Cookstown in Aug 1876. These are simultaneous different households.

Broadbent needs a new profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: W. Brooke Broadbent.
· bride, eldest daughter of Benjamin GlasgowWhy this candidate?
The father's Drapersfield designation identifies Benjamin-4340 (married Wilhelmina Pike 1864). Glasgow-4293 Margaret was born 7 Nov 1867 in Cookstown district, mother's maiden name Pike (GRONI U/1867/98/1009/2/171), and is the earliest-born daughter among 4340's recorded children (Richard 1865 is a son), which fits 'eldest daughter'. Her age (~23) fits. Other Cookstown-area Margaret Glasgows born 1855-1875 (2021, 1798, 4301, 2029, 2252, 1792, 4335) have other parents. 'George' as a middle name is new and matches the surname of her probable grandmother Margaret George.
'Formerly Drapersfield, Cookstown' bridges the Hull residence to the 1864-1870 Drapersfield Benjamin (= 4340 by exact marriage-index date; chain in group 390574459). Do not assume other Hull Glasgows are kin.

This is acceptance of a call, not proof of ordination or parentage. Identity review (6 October 2026): Church report (Belfast News-Letter, 30 Jan 1896): W. G.

What the notice says
Henry Little Glasgow married on 16 March 1897 at Ballywillan Presbyterian Church. The contemporary notice names him second son of the late Benjamin of Cookstown, editor of the Mid-Ulster Mail and Dungannon News, and brother of Rev. W. G. Glasgow, B.A., Dromara.
Evidence and identity limits
Strong profile match on name, occupation, wedding date and brother. The live profile’s attributed 1950 obituary calls him third son; preserve the discrepancy. Existing family support, not a newly certain live parent link. Identity review (6 October 2026): Marriage notice (Belfast News-Letter, 19 Mar 1897): Henry Little Glasgow, second son of the late Benjamin Glasgow of Cookstown, editor of the Mid-Ulster Mail and Dungannon News, and brother of Rev. W. G. Glasgow, B.A., Dromara, married at Ballywillan Presbyterian Church on 16 March 1897. The notice firmly identifies Henry (Glasgow-2131), his father Benjamin-2059 and his brother W.G.-2135, and supports marking Henry's father link confident.
[b. c. 1866-03-06; d. 1950-12-24] · groomWhy this candidate?
Full name, editor of the Mid-Ulster Mail (founded 1891 by Henry and John), Cookstown, and marriage date agree. The profile's GRONI index shows Henry Glasgow and Staunton, 16 Mar 1897, Coleraine district (which covers Ballywillan). His named brother is the Dromara minister. 'Second son' differs from the 1950 obituary's 'third son'; the first son, John George, died in 1857. Keep the discrepancy.
[b. c. 1835; d. 1870-02-08] · groom's fatherWhy this candidate?
Henry's middle name Little equals the maiden name of Benjamin-2059's wife Jane Little (married 1856), and 2059 died in 1870. The Drapersfield Benjamin-4340 is excluded: he had a Pike wife and was alive in Hull in 1891.

Caveat: Handwriting obscures part of the route wording; the visible Rasharkin locality is clear, but the exact route wording remains uncertain.

Position 3 (place): County of Antrim road tenders include a new-road line from the Cullybackey area to Kilrea via Rasharkin. In the separate right column, Glasgow appears in transport-agent addresses at Enoch’s Square and the company offices, and in horse/livestock accommodation information; these are city references, not a surname. Wider replacement capture is loaded and shows the road-tender passage and adjacent transport references. Handwriting still obscures some exact road wording; this does not affect the visible Rasharkin locality or the separation of the Glasgow city references. Position 7 (place): A railway/steamer notice advertises passengers to Glasgow and Paisley, rail connections from Glasgow, fares between Belfast and Glasgow, and a livestock holding place at Glasgow station. The highlighted Glasgow is the Scottish city. No material clipping in the captured passage; the commercial notice is legible. Position 9 (place): The same railway/steamer notice gives fares between Belfast and Glasgow or Paisley and says to apply to McKean & Lamont at Glasgow or the Ayrshire Railway Company's Glasgow and Paisley offices. Glasgow is the Scottish city. No material clipping in the captured passage; fare and office lines are legible.

Position 2 (other): Charles Lanyon's county surveyor report discusses a proposed road from Cullybackey toward Ballymena and the old road near the Globe at Rasharkin; it gives comparative distance and cost. This is a local-road reference, not a person named Glasgow. The captured column passage is legible; page viewport crops neighboring columns, but not the relevant local-road text. Position 3 (other): In the same surveyor's report, the listed grant is to improve the road from Rasharkin to Kilrea, with £350 allocated. Rasharkin is a locality; no Glasgow person or vessel is in the captured passage. No material clipping in the relevant line; the allocation and route are legible.

Position 5 (place): In a Bill for Drainage of Lough Neagh notice, the scheduled works include land in the parish of Rasharkin, in the barony of Kilconway, County Antrim; neighboring parish/townland names follow. Image loaded and passage legible; crop shows surrounding schedule text. No material clipping at the highlighted place. Position 6 (vessel): Steam-packet advertisement headed ‘For Greenock and Glasgow’; it names the Clyde Steam Navigation Company's vessels, including Thetis, Captain William Stewart, sailing from Belfast. A later ‘From Glasgow’ heading gives return sailings. Image loaded and advertisement legible; the passage is sufficiently visible to identify Glasgow as route destination/origin, not a person. Position 7 (vessel): Continuation of the steam-packet advertisement: sailing schedule under ‘From Glasgow,’ followed by cabin/steerage fares and shipping-agent information for the advertised steamers. Image loaded; visible continuation is legible, with no relevant text clipped. Glasgow is a route place. Position 8 (place): In the Lough Neagh drainage bill's townland/parish schedule, ‘Culmore, Gortoreagh, and Tamlaght, in the parish of Kilconway’ is followed by ‘Rasharkin, in the barony of Kilconway’ and a list of townlands. Image loaded and schedule legible; highlighted place is visible with surrounding locality list. No material clipping. Position 9 (place): “First Class Steam Packets for Greenock, Glasgow & Carlisle”; “For Glasgow, calling at Greenock”; “From Glasgow”; Glasgow agents listed below.

Position 4 (place): Drainage notice for Lough Neagh lists “the Barony of Upper Dunluce, in the parishes of Finvoy and Rasharkin, in the barony of Kilconway…” Rasharkin is a parish/locality in the legal description of a proposed drainage district.

Position 9 (place): “First Class Steam Packets for Greenock, Glasgow & Carlisle”; “For Glasgow, calling at Greenock”; schedule from Belfast; “From Glasgow”; agents in Glasgow at 9 Buchanan-street.

Position 7 (place): A separate transport/railway advertisement in the right column mentions Glasgow in a route/service and fares context; the visible matching Glasgow is a city/destination. The central Grand Jury road notice separately mentions Rasharkin. The Glasgow text is partly clipped at the top/right; it is separate from the Rasharkin road notice. No Glasgow personal surname is indicated. Position 8 (place): Under “Steam Communication,” the notice says steamers are intended to sail “from Belfast to Fleetwood, London, Glasgow, via Ardrossan, Whitehaven, Liverpool, and Stranraer.” Glasgow is a destination in a steamer route.

Position 9 (place): The shipping advertisement says “For Greenock and Glasgow,” naming the ports served by the Clyde Steam Navigation Company’s vessel The Thetis, Captain William Stewart. This hit is Glasgow as a route endpoint/port. Passage also names a vessel, but Glasgow itself is not a vessel or surname.
