Biographical snippets
William FORLONG - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Birth: 1762 , , Scotland
Possibly the "spirit dealer, Gallowgate, shop No 21" in the First Glasgow Directory (1787), where there was also a James, manufacturer, Havannah. Robin has or had more listings for them from later directories and listings (even more useful - with dates of commencement and relationships) from photocopied records of the Burgesses and Guild Brethren of Glasgow.
Later snippets include Caledonian Mercury of 7 April 1814[1]:
- IMPORTS. Ziemiew[spg?], from Rotterdam, with ... 10 puncheons Geneva, for William Forlong and Son ... Helen from ditto, with ... 10 pieces Geneva ... 6 hams, for William Forlong and Son
See also http://gdl.cdlr.strath.ac.uk/smihou/smihou095.htm from the Glasgow Digital Library. The notes there about ownership strongly suggest that William was not born at Wellshot (as the "of" would earlier have implied).
