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
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). The Spectator of 1 Mar 1851 and the Gentleman's Magazine of Apr 1851 report his death on 26 Jan 1851: 'At Kingston, Canada West, George Mark Glasgow, late Captain Royal Artillery, son of the late General Glasgow, of the same corps.' Glasgow-3785 is George Mark Glasgow, b.

What the notice says
A surname-only passenger list names Glasco among those who arrived in Dublin the previous day from Holyhead by the Cinderella Post Office Steam Packet.
Evidence and identity limits
The original establishes a passenger/transport context, not the earlier preview’s Cinderella performance. No first initial, occupation, kinship or residence is stated. Keep separate from the Staff-Surgeon Glasco notice of June 1825. Identity review (6 October 2026): March 1825 Dublin arrivals list naming a passenger 'Glasco' by surname only, from Holyhead by the Cinderella packet. Unidentifiable.

What the notice says
84th Regiment: Lieutenant Edward George Glasgow, from the half-pay of the 49th Regiment, is listed among appointments to Lieutenants.
Evidence and identity limits
The complete name and shared 84th Regiment heading were read in one column. No exact Edward George Glasgow profile found in the bounded public historical catalogue; external duplicate checking remains incomplete. No Irish origin or relationship to the other officers is supplied. Identity review (6 October 2026): April 1825 notice: Lieutenant Edward George Glasgow, from half-pay of the 49th, appointed to the 84th. Army records trace one officer of this name: 84th c.1813-20, insolvent 1823, 84th again 1825, half-pay 18th Light Dragoons 1826, 41st Foot 1827, captain in India 1829, dead by 1849 leaving widow Emily Caroline. No WikiTree profile; a new profile is needed. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Edward George Glasgow.

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
Under Hospital Staff, “To be Deputy Inspectors of Hospitals by Brevet,” the notice names Staff-Surgeon John Glasco.
Evidence and identity limits
Appointment wording is explicit. The precise effective/commission date is not established; the issue date is the safe date. 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): June 1825 notice: Staff-Surgeon John Glasco to be Deputy Inspector of Hospitals by brevet. This is the senior army surgeon John Glasco (Regimental Mate 1794, Staff Surgeon 1809, d. Lambeth 14 Jan 1834), not the 59th/60th surgeon. No WikiTree profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Staff-Surgeon John Glasco.
