Reported events, notices, advertisements and letters. OCR matches need visual checking; place names, vessels and matches to other surnames are excluded from Glasgow surname evidence.
Availability depends on the particular repository, locality, date range and record series. We have not established complete coverage for this collection. Follow each provider link for its holdings and access terms; a missing result is not proof of absence.
Reading the evidence: an index, transcript, provider search page and original image are different sources. A recorded image link does not mean its reading or identity match is confirmed. Inspect the assessment and source page before changing a family relationship. Repository guides checked 4 October 2026.

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

What the notice says
James Glasgow was among the men indicted after a procession and alleged riot at Kilrea on 13 July 1835. The procession count was set aside under the amnesty; the trial proceeded on the riot charge and the jury immediately acquitted the prisoners.
Evidence and identity limits
The court report establishes an accused surname bearer and acquittal, not a conviction, residence, occupation or kinship. Regional James Glasgow candidates remain unassigned. No connection to Alexander or Robert of Lisnagaver is supplied. Identity review (6 October 2026): Belfast News-Letter, 25 March 1836: James Glasgow was among men tried for riot after the Kilrea procession of 13 July 1835; the procession count was dropped under the amnesty and the jury acquitted them at once. Several local James Glasgows are possible; none can be assigned, and no relationship is stated.

What the notice says
Under ‘ORDINATION AT BELLAGHY,’ the report says the Magherafelt Presbytery ordained Rev. Gilbert Kirker Wilson to Bellaghy on ‘the 15th ult.’ Rev. James Glasgow, of Castledawson, commenced the service with a sermon. After the report of the service, the same account describes the toasts: the chairman gave ‘The Gentlemen who officiated this day,’ and Rev. James Glasgow returned thanks. With the 5 April issue date, ‘15th ult.’ means 15 March 1836.
Evidence and identity limits
A contemporaneous Castledawson ministerial occurrence, compatible with Glasgow-1780 in the established career sequence; the source does not state his middle name or family. Identity review (6 October 2026): At the ordination of Rev. Gilbert Kirker Wilson to Bellaghy on 15 March 1836, Rev. James Glasgow of Castledawson preached and later returned thanks. He is James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780), minister of Castledawson 1835-40; no family relationship is stated.

Published 1836-10-18 · Belfast News-Letter · p. 3
Complete King’s Arms Inn advertisement, with Robert Glasgow of Cookstown as contact. Source reference: Belfast News-Letter · 1836-10-18 · p. 3. Open for full size; inspect the original page for context.
What the notice says
King’s Arms Inn, Cookstown, to let from 1 November; about ten acres of land; terms from Mr Robert Glasgow, Cookstown. Notice dated 12 October 1836.
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. Identity review (6 October 2026): Advertisement dated 12 October 1836: the King's Arms Inn, Cookstown, with about ten acres, to let from 1 November; terms from Mr Robert Glasgow, Cookstown. Robert Glasgow Esq of Tullyveagh (Glasgow-2656, d. 1856) is the most plausible Cookstown Robert alive in 1836, but the notice is not proof; no relationship stated.
[b. c. 1798; d. 1856-08-20] · contact for letting the King's Arms InnWhy this candidate?
Name + Cookstown + adult property agent in 1836. Glasgow-2656 (Robert Esq, b. c.1798, of Tullyveagh, Cookstown, d. 20 Aug 1856; prerogative probate 1856; mill-owning family) was a gentleman of property in the town at this date. Glasgow-3941 (Coltrim, Lissan) is weaker (outside the town; last record 1831). The surgeon's father Robert was already dead by 1834 and is excluded. The advertisement gives no designation linking to Tullyveagh.

What the notice says
Staff-Surgeon John Glasco, lately employed at Grenada, was appointed Surgeon of the Liverpool Recruiting District in the room of Staff-Surgeon Elliott, removed to Barbadoes.
Evidence and identity limits
Full name, prior Grenada employment and Liverpool appointment are explicit. Relationship to the senior 1826 retiree remains unresolved. 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): Freeman's Journal, 30 December 1836: Staff-Surgeon John Glasco, lately at Grenada, appointed Surgeon of the Liverpool Recruiting District. He is the army surgeon John Glasco of Drew's Roll (b. 1783, BA TCD, staff surgeon 1826-39, d. Dinan 1869), who has no WikiTree profile; none of the earlier comparison profiles fits. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Staff-Surgeon John Glasco.
