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
Robert Glasgow is listed as son of Andrew Glasgow, miller at Calder, in an Edinburgh magistrates’ notice dated 28 November 1772.
Evidence and identity limits
The notice offers one guinea for discovery within the city/liberties of listed persons previously banished or bound to leave. The printed father–son statement is documentary family evidence; it does not prove a particular robbery conviction, apprehension, reward payment or identity with the 1767 prisoner. Neither existing Wiki Tree profile is identified. The notice explicitly names Robert’s father Andrew. Compatible existing Robert and Andrew profiles remain possible assignments only. Robert-1445’s tree-only father James and sibling Andrew-3052 are unverified leads; no parent replacement follows from identifying only the documentary family. Calder alone does not distinguish East from West Calder. Identity review (6 October 2026): Nov 1772 Edinburgh magistrates' list of banished persons includes 'Robert Glasgow, son of Andrew Glasgow miller at Calder'. Robert is the 1767 theft convict; neither he nor a miller Andrew at Calder can be matched to a WikiTree profile. No compatible WikiTree profile after a duplicate search for: Robert Glasgow.
