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
Adam D. Glasgow resigns as assistant in the Royal Belfast Institution Mathematical and Mercantile School; class presentation of Greek Lexicon on 22 December 1836.
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, 10 January 1837: Adam D. Glasgow resigned as assistant in the RBAI Mathematical and Mercantile School and was presented with a Greek Lexicon by his class on 22 December 1836. He is Adam Dickey Glasgow (Glasgow-1781), who held the same kind of post his brother James had resigned in 1834; the notice states no relationship.

'Adam D.' + RBAI + chronology: Fasti no. 1122 Adam Dickey Glasgow, ed. Old College Belfast, General Certificate 1837, licensed Magherafelt Presbytery 1839, ordained Berry Street, Belfast 1840 - a student-teacher at the Institution in 1836 fits; the same 'Adam D. Glasgow' appears in the RBAI prize lists of 1830-31 as of Broughshane. No other Adam D. Glasgow.

What the notice says
Office of Ordnance list dated 16 January: First Lieutenant George Mark Glasgow, vice Freer, to be Second Captain; the next list names Second Lieutenant George Carter Evelegh, vice Glasgow. Reprint of the same order/promotion reported in Belfast News-Letter on 24 January 1837; one event, not an additional appointment.
Evidence and identity limits
Office of Ordnance list dated 16 January: First Lieutenant George Mark Glasgow, vice Freer, to be Second Captain; the next list names Second Lieutenant George Carter Evelegh, vice Glasgow. Reprint of the same order/promotion reported in Belfast News-Letter on 24 January 1837; one event, not an additional appointment. The repeated notice is consolidated with the existing dated appointment; it does not independently identify a WikiTree profile or establish Irish origin, residence, or family. 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

What the notice says
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. No relationship stated.
[b. c. 1805; d. before 1846] · promoted Second Captain, vice FreerWhy this candidate?
As group 1050121684: unique full name + Royal Artillery captaincy (county-families entry 'George Mark Glasgow, Esq., Capt. R.A.' quoted on Glasgow-3127) + Askwith index 'Glasgow, G. M.'; Glasgow-3785 (b. Quebec 1795, d. Kingston 1851) probably the same man; Glasgow-1536 unlikely.

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. Samuel Smith's ordination to Draperstown on 28 March 1837, 'Rev. J. Glasgow of Castledawson' was among the speakers. He is James McClure Glasgow (Glasgow-1780); no relationship is stated.
[b. 1805-05-27; d. 1890-06-30] · speaker at Draperstown ordination dinnerWhy this candidate?
Exact office: Fasti no. 1123 and ministers' index make James Glasgow minister of Castledawson 1835-40; the initial 'J.' plus 'of Castledawson' in 1837 can only be the sitting minister. No competitor.
