Hi Robin & Margaret, I noticed you are interested in the surname BORTHWICK & wondered if you are aware there is a lady doing a one-name study of BORTHWICKs? borthwick@one-name.org is her contact address.

We have three WIGHTMAN sisters born in Borthwick who all turn up in Dunnichen ..one is housekeeper in the Mansion House 1881/91 and her sister is married to the Estate Overseer (William BORTHWICK ) who also comes from Borthwick. Our lady is Margaret Agnes Wightman (BORTHWICK ) HIRD wife of Henry Somerville HIRD ... She is illegitimate daughter of Hay WIGHTMAN as confirmed by Hay's death registration in Dunnichen.
