So seeing how the Borlands are being spoken about a bit in the Wilson section (see here), I thought I would put what I have on the Borlands here so as to keep them somewhat separate if that's ok. If not feel free to move or merge or remove it. Hugh Borland married Sarah Wilson 5/10/1827 Kilmarnock Ayrshire Scotland. Hugh was born 29/7/1798 Irvine Ayrshire Scotland and christened 8/8/1798 Died 12/4/1870 Schoowell St. Stevenson, Irvine, Ayrshire Buried 16/4/1870 Old Parish Church Irvine Ayrshire Hugh and Sarah's Children (which Mum has just given me) Elizabeth b. 17/11/1828 Kilmarnock Alexander b. 8/5/1830 Irvine Sarah b. 9/2/1832/ Irvine Hugh b. 1839 Irvine d. 18/8/1916 Maryborough VIC Mary b. 17/2/1836 Irvine d. 20/10/1885 Maryborough VIC Robert b. 1844 Irvine d. 14/3/1922 Northcote Victoria John b. 14/2/1847 Dalry Martha b. 14/2/1847 Dalry Other information Mum has recently provided: Mary married a Henry Lunn/Lynn 11/12/1860 The Sarah who is my line married George Harvie 13/6/1856 Going back a generation: Hugh's father was Alexander Borland b. 18/8/1775 Riccarton?? Ayrshire Scotland He married Elizabeth Banks 1/7/1793 Irvine Their children apart from Hugh were Mary and Alexander Going back another generation potentially Alexander's parents were Andrew Borland and Elizabeth Larry?? So I guess I could try and confirm the Andrew and Elizabeth parentage of Alexander. But that's about all. Maybe it might help with the connections in the Wilson part. Cheers
We do tend to stray a wee bit don’t we? But I see what will happen here.....we will get the Wilson’s on here too. Its what we do and we do it well, well some of us.
Any idea where to start looking to find out exactly when Hugh went back to Scotland? Or has it been mentioned already? Can't see it but that doesn't mean a thing
I've tried looking but can't find anything. I even looked in the papers on Trove and FMP to see if there was a mention, but nothing came up.

I don't think this has been posted before, apologies if it has..... Ardrossen and Saltcoats Herald 16th April 1870 IN MEMORIAM —Hugh Borland, Stevenston, whose death is recorded in our obituary column appears to have had a life sufficiently chequered to warrant a short notice. He was a native of Irvine, where he learned the shoemaking trade and where he married. He removed to Dalry and, after he had a large family born to him, he emigrated to Australia. The climate, however, did not suit his constitution, and alone he returned to his native land. He hoped his wife and family would follow, but they preferred to remain in the new country, where there was wider scope for industry. He settled in Stevenston, and such was the energy of his character, and the frugality with which he husbanded his earnings, that at his death, which occurred this week, it was found he had realised what to many would be a small fortune. He to be buried at Irvine, by his express wish, today.
A few updates on births and christenings. Martha and John's (twins) surname is actually written as BORELAND Elizabeth Borland, b. 17 November 1827, c. 27 March 1828, Kilmarnock (ooops almost made it to her parents wedding on 5 October 1827) Alexander Borland, b. 8 February 1830, Irvine Janet Borland, b. 5 April 1834, c. 20 April 1834, Irvine Robert Borland, b. 21 July 1844, c. 11 August 1844, Dalry Martha Boreland b. 29 January 1847, c. 14 February 1847, Dalry John Boreland, b. 29 January 1847, c. 14 February 1847, Dalry
She's on the censuses 1841 census as daughter living at High Street, Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland 1851 census as daughter living at Drakemire, Dalry (Ayr), Cunningham, Ayrshire, Scotland. Also Scotlandspeople ""Janet lawful daughter of Hugh Borland &Sarah Wilson" An image of Hugh Borland's (flaking) headstone can be seen on FAG Code: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/203628909/hugh-borland
Is that Agnes Lamie at the top a potentialdifferent woman to Elizabeth or just a mistype or miswritten back then?
H Hugh's siblings: Mary born 26th March 1794 and Alexander born 21st March 1796. Mary's birthdate makes her conceived before wedding day of parents hmmm...
