What research have you done using Irish sites?

The NI register for 1939 is available ONLY by application to PRONI for info regarding specific addresses. GOOGLE and see full details on Wikipedia

As you haveundoubtedly been told before, there are limitations as to accessible records on 1939 Register, even when the Register is actually online, which is ONLY for ENGLAND and WALES (make a note). Anyone born less that 100 years ago whose death has not been picked up or notified WILL NOT be an open record. Please remember this for future requests.

This is probably them, living at 318 Cumberland Street, Gorbals in 1958:

Samuel J Glasgow [ and Mary Glasgow ]
in the Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, Electoral Registers, 1857-1962
Name Samuel J Glasgow
Residence Year 1958
Address 2059 [318 Cumberland St ]
Residence Place Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Parliamentary Division Glasgow

That was a slum area in those days. Later all demolished and rebuilt.

A child named Margaret Glasgow was born in Springburn area of Glasgow in 1957.

You would need the birth cert (from Scotlands People) to check parents' names, as the transcription doesn't give mmn.

BUT -
LOTS of people surnamed Glasgow married in Glasgow before 1957 - so Margaret may have nothing whatsoever to do with Samuel & Mary.
And Springburn is NOT near either Cathcart or the Gorbals.
