National Library / Births, Marriages, Deaths / Probate / Great Sessions Gaol Files / Borthwick isn't a surname you would expect to find in Wales before the current era of mass migration. However, a Guild of One Name Studies member Stephen Benham has very kindly started me off on Borthwicks in Wales by providing the bulk of the information below. I will add more information to this page as it comes to hand. If you too are researching Borthwicks in Wales and would like to share any of your research, and/or information about your own Borthwick family, I would be happy to post it here for you. If any reader is descended from these families, or knows anything about them, I'd love to hear from you. email me any time!

Additional Information: Son of Alexander and Sophie Borthwick, of Plas Llewelyn, Abergele, Denbighshire. Cemetery: ARRAS MEMORIALPas de Calais, France Grave or Reference Panel Number: Bay 1 and 2. There are no Borthwick references among the probate records, 1521-1858, of the Welsh dioceses (Bangor, Llandaf, St Asaph and St Davids, plus the archdeaconry of Brecon), the peculiar of Hawarden or the Welsh parishes of the diocese of Chester. There aren't any Borthwick references in the database to the Great Sessions gaol files, 1730-1830. The Court of Great Sessions was established by the Second Act of Union in 1543, and abolished in 1830. It was the Wales (less Monmouthshire) equivalent of the English assize courts, and was replaced by assize circuits in 1830, which were replaced in the (?)1960s by the current crown courts. Incidentally, Stephen advises that Monmouthshire came under the Oxford assize rather than the Great Sessions, and this was the foundation of the fallacy that Monmouthshire was not a part of Wales. Memorials at Ystradowen Churchyard, Glamorgan By, Phil Mustoe, 1993 include: 046 In loving memory of Margaret Jenkins born 19 Nov 1840 died 27th April 1862 daughter of Thomas and Ann Jenkins of this parish and the intended wife of C. Borthwick.
