If you like this site you may vote for it by clicking on this banner.

Please note: This page is still very much under construction. As with other pages on this site I've chosen to upload it regularly while it is being compiled, despite incomplete formatting and information, in order to make as much data as possible available to Borthwick researchers.

 


Apart from the need to gather data for the Borthwick One Name Study my personal interest in Borthwicks in England arises from searches for events and connections in my own family.

  • I have been unable to find in Scotland the marriage on 1 December 1808 of William Murray BORTHWICK and Helen PATERSON. Perhaps they were married somewhere in England.
  • William Murray BORTHWICK definitely had London connections. For example in 1822 he spent some weeks in London after the Glasgow Sentinel was established.
  • Peter Borthwick, father of Algernon Borthwick who later became Lord Glenesk, was apparently a "cousin twice removed" of William Murray BORTHWICK. Lord Glenesk was Editor of the London Morning Post from 18??-18??. I have been unable to trace the ancestry of this family back beyond Thomas BORTHWICK and Janet BLAKE who were married on 31 December 1802 in Peebles, Peeblesshire, Scotland. I would of course love to hear from anyone who may be able to throw some light on the possible ancestry of Sir Algernon Borthwick.
  • John Borthwick,portrait painter, brother of William Murray Borthwick, lived in Liverpool, England for some years.

If anyone knows more about these families please get in touch with me.

The real purpose of this page, however, is to post for other Borthwick researchers my collection of information about Borthwicks in England. I have a separate page for Borthwicks in Liverpool, Lancashire as William Murray Borthwick's brother John lived there for some years.

If you have bits and pieces of information on Borthwicks in England that you'd like to post here for others to use please get in touch with me as I'd be happy to include it. I'd love to hear from anyone who has information about any Borthwicks in England, from anyone who can add anything to the information below, and of course from anyone who is researching these or other Borthwick families. Please email me if you have an interest!


Earliest Borthwicks in England

1. 1425. The first Lord Borthwick was one of the nobles who went to England as substitute hostages for the ransom of James I in 1425. Did any members of his family settle there?

2. 1549. From the Parish Registers CD for Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire. (Thank you Andy Prescott)

Wills Proved in the Consistory Court of Norwich and now Preserved in the District Probate Registry at Norwich 1370 to 1550:
1549 Borthewycke, Richard, Shoteshm, All Sts., or Hie Shoteshm, clerk 275, 276 Wymer.

(The number/name at the end is just the way in which Norwich Wills were filed, many years ago,pre computers, microfilm etc. They were put together in batches, which seem to have been fairly arbitrary, but were probably in date order, and then were filed under the first name of that batch. CHECK. Thank you Lorraine Hake.)

3. 1667. Marriages from the Gateshead Registers (1600-1699) include one Borthwick marriage - 10 Sep 1667 John Borthwick & Elianor Emmerson

4. 1654, 1733. The earliest birth and marriage on the LDS British Isles VRI are:

BARTHWICK, Alexander Marriage Wife: Christian BLACKETT Marriage Date: 1 May 1733 Recorded in: Saint Nicholas Parish Reg. and Nonconf., Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland, England Source: FHL Number 1068902 Dates: 1678-1791

To be further researched. Does any reader know of earlier Borthwick families in England?

The Vicar-General Marriage Licence Index

The Vicar-General Marriage Licence Index is a genealogical finding aid comprising a surname index which lists over 356,000 people who were issued with marriage licences by the Vicar-General of the Archbishop of Canterbury between 1694 and 1850. The purpose of this page is to inform readers of the frequency of the 52,800 surnames occuring in the index.

Borthick [1694 to 1725: 1]

Borthwick [1751 to 1775:1 and 1776 to 1800:2]

Cambridgeshire Registration of Births Index

Working with volunteers from the Cambridgeshire Family History Society the Cambridgeshire Registration Service is to allow access to index data for births, marriages and deaths over the internet.There are over 150,000 birth entries on the site so far. The wildcard option will widen your search to look for surnames and forenames that contain the names you have entered.

Cheshire County

A fantastic and constantly growing resource on the Internet is the Cheshire BDMs indices. http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/ Over 1 million records have been added in the first year!

The Register Offices in the county of Cheshire, hold records of Local births, marriages and deaths back to the start of civil registration in 1837. The county's Family History Societies are collaborating with the local Registration Services to make the indexes to these records freely searchable via the Internet. Althought the indexes are not yet complete for all years and districts, the database will eventually cover Cheshire births, marriages and deaths for the years 1837 to 1950. Information regarding the purchase of certificates can be found and certificate ordering is partly automated.

To provide a taste of the records that are available for anyone looking for Borthwicks in Cheshire I have listed the index entries on the Cheshire BDM database as at 18 November 2001. Soundex and even vaguely related names can be obtained also. A visit and search is highly recommended.

Yorkshire

The Register Offices in the county of Yorkshire, England, hold records of Local births, marriages and deaths back to the start of civil registration in 1837. The county's Family History Societies are collaborating with the local Registration Services to make the indexes to these records freely searchable via the Internet. Although the indexes are not yet complete for all years and districts, the database will eventually cover Yorkshire births, marriages and deaths for the years 1837 to 1950. The Yorkshire BDMs site gave the following results for Borthwicks (searched 3 April 2002).

Borthwicks on LDS CD for British Isles VRI

The LDS Vital Records Indices are not complete listings of births and marriages in a particular country but are very useful, and inexpensive, collections of information for any researcher. Contact your nearest LDS Family History Centre or Distribution Centre if you are interested in purchasing the CD.

I have extracted from the British Isles CD all Borthwick births and marriages. Some variant spellings are included when a search is made on "Borthwick" so I have also included these in the lists below.

Births

These are listed in date order.

Deaths, St Catherine's House Index

My reason for searching the Borthwick Deaths in St Cath's Index between 1840 and 1843 is a letter written from Liverpool to Australia in July 1843. In that letter to William Murray Borthwick his brother, John, said that his (ie John's) only son, John Robert Borthwick, had recently died. I still haven't found John Robert Borthwick's death I sorry to say but here are the Borthwick deaths I found in case they help someone else.
