If you like this site you may vote for it by clicking on this banner.

The information on this page relates to the immigration and passenger movements of Borthwicks in Victoria, during the 1800s. It is a "sub-page" of the Borthwicks in Victoria page.

As with other pages on this site .... This information is posted here as a guide. It may include inadvertent errors or omissions. Please check the original sources if you find something relevant to your own research, especially if you plan to purchase a certificate, probate or other document.

I have included information on "Bothwicks" in both the Argus Passenger Indices & the shipping lists. On another page on this site I have a long list of Borthwick Variants.

I would be pleased to include on these pages relevant information from other Borthwick researchers. If you'd like to share your research just contact me and I'll incorporate it for you, with acknowledgment.

Please email me if you would like to post something here, or if you think you have a connection to any Borthwicks on these pages. I may be able to put you in touch with someone who is researching your family.

Other Immigration Information

As a result of my posting on another page of this site Wendy Jack sent some information about Christiana BORTHWICK and Thomas DOUGLAS. On 18 March 1854 Christiana and Thomas left Britain aboard Conway, which sailed from Greenock, Scotland. They migrated to Australia, arriving in Geelong, Vic on 17 June 1854. We would love to know whether Christiana's brothers or sisters also came to Australia.
