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.

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
William Glasgow, master of brig William, Rotterdam and back to Belfast; notice dated Belfast 18 April, sail in eight days; freight contact Narcissus Batt.
Evidence and identity limits
Original inspected. Repeated advertisement, surname divided across lines and indexed as Glascow. Possible Larne household identity stays HOLD; no kin. Identity review (6 October 2026): Northern Star 21 Apr–5 May 1792 (5 issues): William Glasgow, master of the brig William, for Rotterdam and back to Belfast; freight to Narcissus Batt. This is the key notice naming the master. He is a documentary person, but no WikiTree profile is proved (Glasgow-3324 possible).
[b. c. 1763; d. c. 1816] · master of the brig WilliamWhy this candidate?
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
