Hi Janice,
Just wanted to let you know the book on the Borthwicks is ready for sale ($40.00).
You can e-mail me at kdnorton@sympatico.ca
Also of interest is Ann Carson, Australia, who has a one name study on
the Borthwicks. Her e-mail address is amcarson500@optusnet.com.au & she
would be happy to hear from anyone interested.

Hi All,
Saw this post today and thought I'd add a bit. As I have mentioned to Al
and Dawn before my interest in the Borthwicks is their connection to so
many other early Gloucester / Bytown families including my own through the
Templeton, Moxley and Johnston families.
The 1851 Census entry for Thomas and Margaret is here
http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/1851_pdf/e094/e002344803.pdf
You will find the 1881 Census entry for William Borthwick, Jane Blyth and
family here:
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/census/household_record.asp?HOUSEHOLD_CODE=1881CN_544407&frompage=5
I found this by searching the 1881 Ottawa Directory:
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/canadiandirectories/022009-119.01-e.php?uid=12441&uidc=ID&sk=&query_string=adf%3DTRUE%26adq%255B0%255D%255Bcol%255D%3Dany%26adq%255B0%255D%255Bq%255D%3Dborthwick%26adq%255B0%255D%255BboolOp%255D%3DAND%26adq%255B1%255D%255Bcol%255D%3Dany%26adq%255B1%255D%255Bq%255D%3D%26adq%255B1%255D%255BboolOp%255D%3DAND%26adq%255B2%255D%255Bcol%255D%3Dany%26adq%255B2%255D%255Bq%255D%3D%26adq%255B2%255D%255BboolOp%255D%3DAND%26adq%255B3%255D%255Bcol%255D%3DDirectory_Code%26adq%255B3%255D%255Bq%255D%3Dnlc008145%26adq%255B3%255D%255BboolOp%255D%3D
on the LAC (Library and Archives Canada) site, then entering the heads of
household for each of the next door neighbours in Familysearch.
Al, maybe you could compare this to what you have on your disc of the 1881 census.
Its worth noting that the age of Mary born in California is consistent
with the biographical sketch of William, which I believe can be accessed
through Ann's site.
