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.
Reviewed newspaper notices
2 distinct notices from 6 retained pages, earliest first. Reprints of the same notice are merged; 6 pages have saved inline excerpts. Open a notice for its clipping, reading and profile assessment.
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
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
