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
A notice concerning the sale of Nether Mains and other subjects belonging to George Glasgow announces an adjournment, with a future paper to give the new sale day.
Evidence and identity limits
Issue 23 June 1777. A separate adjournment notice, not the 1768 wording. Right-hand original text is faded; the former advertised day is not confidently transcribed. No completed sale, bankruptcy, death or estate administration is established. One provisional merchant/property study consolidates the exact named Nethermains subject and compatible Glasgow partnership context, retaining separate sale stages. Compatible profiles remain possible. George-3312’s recorded 1768 death does not exclude later reprints or past-tense property references; no continuity of active life, ownership, completed sale or family is proved. The Manchester inventor and officers remain separate. Identity review (6 October 2026): June 1777 adjournment of the sale of Nether Mains 'belonging to George Glasgow'. Same owner as 1768: Glasgow-3312, probable.

Same owner and the same identity argument as group 395710454 (full reasoning there). The notice styles him 'George Glasgow' / 'George Glasgow of Nether Mains' as the man to whom the Kilwinning lands (Nether Mains, Littleward, Fence, Oxenward) belonged. The Commissariot of Glasgow names 'Margaret, wife of George Glasgow, of Nethermains, daughter of William B., of Drumakill' (27 June 1768), and Glasgow-3312 is already married on WikiTree to Margaret Buchanan, daughter of William. 3312 is the Kilwinning-born (1729) son of the 1728 George Glasgow and Margaret Martin marriage, which brought in the Martin of Ashinyards/Nethermains co-heiress.

What the notice says
A judicial-sale notice by adjournment, under authority of the Lords of Council and Session, advertises Nether Mains and other lands which belonged to George Glasgow for 8 August next.
Evidence and identity limits
Issue 26 July 1777. Sale planned 8 August next; Nether Mains and Littleward are visible in the bounded passage. Past-tense belonged is preserved. No completed sale, insolvency or death follows; later properties/terms beyond the saved passage are not inferred. One provisional merchant/property study consolidates the exact named Nethermains subject and compatible Glasgow partnership context, retaining separate sale stages. Compatible profiles remain possible. George-3312’s recorded 1768 death does not exclude later reprints or past-tense property references; no continuity of active life, ownership, completed sale or family is proved.

What the notice says
William Glasgow is named as former possessor of the Cleugh-head haughs in a further adjourned land-sale notice planning 17 September 1777.
Evidence and identity limits
The notice names current possessors Thomas and William For-rests, printed across a line break, while Glasgow is a former possessor of the haughs. The old meal-market house is excluded. Future entry terms and advertised lot prices£500/£400 do not establish completed sale, tenant death or kinship. Complete original-column repairs now resolve the earlier truncated co-tenant reading. Identity review (6 October 2026): Aug-Sept 1777 adjourned sale: William Glasgow now former possessor of the Cleugh-head haughs. Same tenant; no matchable profile.
