> With the greatly appreciated help of Judy I now know that my ancestor, > William Murray BORTHWICK was a Printer and then a Spirit Dealer living at 6 > Brown St, Edinburgh from 1823-1826. Hello Ann, Brown Street is just off the Pleasance, in south-central Edinburgh. Let me know if you want me to go have a look at number 6, the next time I'm in that part of town. I'm intrigued by your post, since I have a mysterious BORTHWICK connection to my SANDERSON line: a Helen BORTHWICK turns up from time to time - she was witness at a SANDERSON wedding in 1871, and a child of a different marriage was named Helen Borthwick SANDERSON. Would it be a coincidence that the head of the family, Peter SANDERSON, also at one time lived near the Pleasance, and was also associated with the whisky trade? Liz
