Many Borthwick spouses have family histories
which provide fascinating windows into the worlds of our ancestors. We
have located more than 2000 descendants of John Borthwick and Elizabeth
Dinwoodie now so there are hundreds of spouse surnames. Descendants have
been found in Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand, Scotland and the
USA.
This page has been created to share some of
the histories and stories of those families. It is quite an undertaking
so seems to be always "in progress", with partly completed stories
and lists of names. Those names for which information has been gathered
have clickable links (they will be coloured blue unless you have changed

Among the convicts of the First
Fleet was a man called James Bloodsworth, an English brickmaker
who made use of the brickmaking equipment brought on the voyage
and became the colony's first brick maker. Following the discovery
of a suitable clay soon after settlement, brickmaking was begun,
using equipment brought out with the First Fleet. James Bloodsworth
was an experienced brickmaker who, in addition to bricks, at the
same plant burned clay roof tiles, which gave "greatly improved
water tightness, durability and dignity of the burgeoning public
buildings". A descendant of James Bloodsworth, George William
Bloodsworth, married Ada Borthwick in 1893. His family had become
successful graziers in the Coonamble District.
By the time George and his
wife Ada died both appear to have adopted the name Bloodworth, without
the 's'.

Sarah Elizabeth (Mina) Bridger,
daughter of John Bridger and Annie Moore, married Thomas Paterson
Borthwick III in 1892 at Gum Flat, near Inverell, NSW. A John Bridger
seems to have been official or unofficial "undertaker"
at Bingara in the early 1900s. For example, he was undertaker for
Charles Bull of Cooringoora on 1 June 1902. Was this Mina Bridger's
father?

Ayesha Annie Cameron Borthwick,
daughter of Will and Maud Borthwick of Walcha, NSW, married Keith
Sigismund Brown in March 1916, just before he went off to war. His
grandfather, Dr Walter Brown, of Brislington, Somerset, England
had moved to Australia in 1857, having travelled here a number of
times as a ship's doctor. Dr Walter Brown married Sigismunda Brown
(also Broun) of Colstoun, Upper Paterson. They settled in an historic
house in Parramatta, which they named "Brislington", and
for 92 years three generations of doctors practiced there. K S M
Brown's mother was Margaret Isabella MacArthur, daughter of George
Fairfowl MacArthur and granddaughter of Hannibal MacArthur and Anna
Maria King, very early settlers in the Colony. See the Brown
pages of this site for more information on these families.

BULL
|
Over a period of ?? years three
Borthwicks married three Bull girls, descendants of Charles &
Emma Bull of "Cooringoorah" near Bingara. Charles Bull
is believed by his descendants to have come out to Australia when
he was 19 years old, on the same ship as the Borthwicks.This was
at a time when the Australian government sent out an SOS to Britain
for experienced farmers. Charles was supposed to come on one ship
but missed it and had to catch another one. However he has not yet
been found on the passenger lists for the "Lady East"
which arrived in Hobart, Tasmania in 1833 carrying the Borthwick
family.
Charles Bull was a very early squatter on the Liverpool Plains where
he formed Pullaming Station, and on the MacIntyre where he marked
out Coppymurrumbilla, near Boggabilla. He was employed by John Brown
and his brother-in-law Edward Alcorn, both of Singleton. From 1843
Charles Bull, with William Borthwick, managed Elsmore Station for
Brown and Alcorn

Margie Rankin, click on this small one.

On 20 June 1844 Elizabeth Borthwick
of Scone, spinster and elder daughter of the first William Murray
Borthwick and his wife Helen Paterson, married Michael "Deasy"
of Scone, bachelor, at St Luke's Church of England, Scone. His descendants
understand that Michael Daisy came to Australia in 1834 and that
the Daisy family originally came from Sutherland in Scotland and
moved to Ireland. We don't yet know, however, what ship Michael
Daisey arrived on or what he did when he first embarked in this
country. It is said that Michael Daisy acquired pastoral experience
in the Maitland area before acquiring two runs in the New England
area of NSW. There is another page on this site for Elizabeth
Borthwick and Michael Daisy and their descendants.

Gertrude Darley's great-uncle,
Sir Frederick Matthew Darley, was the sixth Chief Justice of the
NSW Supreme Court, from 29 November 1886 to 4 January 1910. Born
in Ireland and educated at Trinity College Dublin he married Lucy
Forrest Browne, sister of Thomas Alexander Browne of "Rolfe
Boldrewood" fame. After their marriage they decided to move
to Australia and Frederick Darley was admitted to the NSW Bar in
June 1862. He became a Member of the Legislative Council & then
in 1896, Chief Justice. He was Lieutenant-Governor and Administrator
of NSW and was so popular that his permanent appointment as Governor
was widely supported. He was awarded many honours but returned to
the British Isles and died in London on 4 January 1904. Gertrude
Darley was the wife of Kenneth Guy Borthwick, a great-grandson of
William Murray Borthwick and Helen Paterson.

One Borthwick descendant married
a descendant of Edward Stephen Daunt and Sarah Gertrude Whelan.
The genealogy of Daunt, formerly of Tracton Abbey, is published
in Burke's The Landed Gentry of Ireland, and is traced back
to 1380. Some of the earliest recorded members of the family lived
in Gloucester and Somerset, England. John Daunt, son of Nicholas
Daunt and Alice, "having espoused the Lancastrian side in the wars
of the Roses, was called on by Prince Edward, son of Henry VI, and
the Marquuis of Anjou, to aid the house of Lancaster in resisting
Edward."

Two descendants of George Hope
Erratt & Susannah Margaret Lee married Borthwick descendants,
one in 1913 & one in 1965. Their ancestor George Hope Erratt
"opened a small store in Walcha, NSW in 1849 which operated
as Erratt & Co General Merchants until 1967. The Erratt family
ran the first post office and bank branch (Bank of New South Wales)
in Walcha, and were insurance agents and trustees for many of the
local landholders. George Hope Erratt's son, Charles Hope Erratt,
owned gold, manganese and tin mines in the area." (NLA Genealogical
Sources.)

Honora Fagan, who married Murray
Paterson Borthwick in 1942, was a granddaughter of the Fagans who
bought "Noraway" near Coonamble, in 1863. On her mother's
side she was descended from a McCullough who had been the first
Mayor of Coonamble. The family came from the North of Ireland where
he had been involved in the Royal Ulster Constabulary.

In 1902 Angusina Fletcher Borthwick
married Cecil Gordon Farqharson. Two of Cecil's brothers went to
the Northern Territory with Matt Buchanan. They were droving at
first & later bought the property "Inverway", which
they lived on until they died. Both were in their nineties. Matt
Buchanan was the first European to cross the Barkly Tablelands from
east to west and first to take a large herd of breeding cattle from
Queensland to the Top End of the Northern Territory. By all accounts
he was an outstanding explorer. He was also the first to cross the
Tanami Desert from Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory to Sturt
Creek in Western Australia. Matt Buchanan married Cecil Farquharson's
aunt, Kate Gordon, who was his mother Jessie Christina Gordon's
sister.

Peter Fleming (c.1816-1894)
arrived in Newcastle, NSW around 1838. It is believed that he was
born in Paisley, Scotland, the son of John and Helen Fleming. He
married Mary Cameron, who was the aunt of Ann Borthwick, William
Murray Borthwick II's wife. In 1880 the Fleming's youngest daughter,
Ellen, married Donald Fletcher, nephew of WMB II and Anne Cameron,
at "Linwood Cottage", Newcastle, NSW. The Municipality of Wickham
was constituted on 25 Feb 1871 (one of the first separate municipalities
outside Newcastle) and Peter Fleming was one of those elected to
the council. The Wickham and Bullock Island Coal Company was formed
in Sydney in the year 1879 for the purpose of mining coal from two
leaseholds - one being the property of Mr Peter Fleming, and the
other belonging to the Government.

In 1850 Jane Borthwick, youngest
daughter of William Murray Borthwick and Helen Paterson, of Auburn
Vale, near Inverell, was married by licence to Angus Fletcher,
bachelor of "Byron". Angus had been born near Glenorchy and Inishail,
Argyllshire, Scotland, in 1814, son of Donald Fletcher (1809-1873)
& Janet McNaughton (1811-1855. Angus
and his bother Colin both arrived in Australia on 28 February
1839, on the ship "Heber". Angus was for 30 years manager of "Byron
Station", also known as "Byron Plains Station",
near Inverell. He also settled "Balagula" Stationa near
Coonamble, NSW but died soon afterwards and the place was carried
on by his son Donald. Fletcher's Seat, near Inverell, was apparently
named after Angus Fletcher.

In 1911 in Tamworth NSW, Mary
Cameron Fletcher, daughter of Donald Fletcher and Ellen Fleming,
married Gerald Garling. Gerald was a great-grandson of Frederick
Garling and Elizabeth Spratt. Frederick Garling had arrived in Australia
in 1815 and was very prominent in the founding of NSW. He was a
solicitor, founder of the Bank of NSW and also occupied the position
of Surveyor General. The Wollongong University website states that
his son Frederick Garling was an artist and customs officer at Sydney
harbour, especially proficient in marine painting and most famous
for this. He is said to have painted every boat to have entered
Port Jackson over a period of forty years. The site of the Observer
Hotel, 67-69 George Street Sydney was the home of Frederick Garling
in the 1820s.

Eleanor Frances (Molly) Borthwick,
married Alexander Sydney Gill in Walcha in 1914. Alex's Gill family
came from Hastings in England. It is possible that they knew Henry
Dangar in England and hence decided to come to Australia. The first
member of the family in Australia was a school teacher. Alex Gill's
father, John Gill, was manager/bookkeeper at "Gostwyck" near Armidale.
Later he bought a wool scouring business. He had married Anna Maria
Perry of Bendemeer and the family stayed in the New England District.

In 1902 Minnie Madeleine Jardine
married Frank Mayo Borthwick, son of Thomas Paterson Borthwick &
Catherine Elizabeth Amelia Mayo, at "Blair Athol" near
Inverell. Minnie Jardine's grandfather James Jardine had been born
in 1801 in Larriston, Newcastleton, Liddesdale, Scotland (address
to be checked). He and his wife, Helen Irving, from Roxburgh in
Scotland, arrived in Australia on 30 September 1839 on the "Royal
Admiral", with four small children. They were Bounty passengers
and James was described as an overseer. It is not known who he overseered
for. The family lived in the Fitzgerald Valley, or Fitzgerald's
Swamp, near Bathurst, NSW & must have acquired their own land.
This place was also known as Mt Pleasant or Jardine's Swamp! Seven
more children, including Minnie's father John Thomas Jardine, were
born over the next 20 years. Minnie's father John Thomas Jardine
bought "Pinehurst" near Inverell from Frank Lewin in 1889 and changed
the name to "Blair Athol". He died there in 1898.

The story of Alexander Johnston's
arrival in Australia is a wonderfully romantic one - at least from
the safety of a comfortable chair in the year 2000. For Alexander
it was probably unjust & traumatic. He was one of the "Scottish
Rebels" transported to Australia in 1817 aboard the ?? years
later Alexander's granddaughter Maude Mary Alexandra Johnston, married
William Murray Borthwick III. Will's grandfather, William Murray
Borthwick I (1782-1866), had been a Tory in Scotland so the two
old gentlemen with elegant beards had been on opposite sides of
Scottish politics.

On 26 December 1895 Justin
Laycock, became the spouse of Ada Margaret Ruth Borthwick. He was
at that time a grazier of "Terambone Station" Coonamble,
NSW. The marriage certificate says he was born at Bingley, West
Yorkshire, England but his death cert says Keighly. His parents
were (if the informant for his death cert was correct) John Brigg
Laycock and Alice Craven. He was Wesleyan Methodist. He became a
successful grazier in NSW. Justin and Ada had two sons, William
Murray (Bill) and Blakey Borthwick. Both sons were POW in the Philippines
and Blakey died there. Both sons died without descendants so I have
noone other than cousins to contact about their lives etc. If any
reader knows more of this family please email
me.

LEUTCHFORD |
In 1914 Elizabeth Clara (Clara)
Daisey, granddaughter of Michael Daisey and Elizabeth Borthwick,
married Frank Leutchford in Queensland. Frank was the first of the
Leutchford family to come to Australia, in 1910, when he was 26
years old. Very quickly he became one of the largest glass manufacturers
in Australia, buying properties in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, a
home at Clayfield and also a holiday home on the Gold Coast.
