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

Evidence and identity limits
Original enlarged notice strongly matches Jane Graham-21720 and spouse Robert Glasgow-938 on name, spouse, exact address and death date 28 December 1891. Supporting an existing marriage, not a parent confidence upgrade. The Rasharkin phrase follows Robert’s name; do not assign it exclusively to Jane. Identity review (6 October 2026): Death notice (Belfast News-Letter, 6 Jan 1892): Jane Graham, wife of Robert Glasgow, died 28 Dec 1891 at 534 Gallowgate, Glasgow, aged 51, 'formerly of Rasharkin'. She is Graham-21720 and her husband Robert Glasgow-938; the marriage is already on WikiTree.
