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.
Reviewed newspaper notices

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.

Complete marriage notice. Printed 22 February differs from the maintained OPR 23 February; no mother is named. Source reference: The Caledonian Mercury · 1802-03-01 · p. 3. Open for full size; inspect the original page for context.
What the notice says
At Dunlop-house, on the 22d ult. Robert Glasgow of Montgreenan, Esq. to Miss Rachel Dunlop, daughter of the late John Dunlop of Dunlop, Esq.
Evidence and identity limits
The notice explicitly names Rachel’s father. Dunlop-2144 is a checked compatible John of Dunlop, whose biography lists Rachel’s 1769 baptism. Newspaper date is 22 February; the maintained OPR citation gives 23 February. Preserve both pending original-register comparison. No mother is stated. Identity review (6 October 2026): Marriage at Dunlop House, 22 Feb 1802, of Robert Glasgow of Montgreenan to Rachel Dunlop, daughter of the late John Dunlop of Dunlop. All three people are on WikiTree; the marriage is already linked, and Rachel's link to her father can be made confident.
[b. before 1747-10-15; d. 1827-04-19] · bridegroomWhy this candidate?
Unique designation 'of Montgreenan'; Paterson: 'Rachel, the fourth [daughter of John Dunlop of Dunlop], married to Robert Glasgow of Mount-greenan'; WikiTree spouse already Dunlop-2189; OPR marriage 23 Feb 1802 cited on the profile.
[b. 1769-05-17; d. 1828-07-19] · brideWhy this candidate?
Name, father 'the late John Dunlop of Dunlop', spouse and place (Dunlop House) all agree; Paterson's Dunlop of Dunlop account names her. Born 17 May 1769, Dunlop.
Unique designation 'of Dunlop' (the laird; d. 5 Jun 1785, consistent with 'the late'); Dunlop-2144 already lists Rachel (b.1769) among his children and Paterson's genealogy of Dunlop of that Ilk names Rachel as the daughter who married Robert Glasgow of Mountgreenan. Upgraded from probable to strong.
