Thanks Kucinta,
Glad I wasn't just being blind.

I have just received the death certificate for David Borthwick and after being a medicine dispenser in 1841, a medical man at James and Clarence's christenings, a surgeon - non practisng on the 1851 cenus and at his death in August 1851he was a 'Law Writer'! Chequered career. I still have had no progress in finding his and Eliza's marriage or the births of the 3 older children -Emily 1837, Edward 1838 and John 1839. According to the census all born in Middlesex. I realise it wasn't required to register births that early so perhaps they weren't. It's possible that their marriage records have been lost or or the ceremony didn't happen at all. Maybe this is as far as I can go with this branch. If so thanks to everyone for all the help you have given me.

The above gives David's occupation as Proprietor of (can make out the next word) for the cure of gout.
There is also this one in Edinburgh in 1841 and he's a Chemist of some sort.

(The correction to the name on Ancestry was added in 2010, presumably by someone who had viewed the original image)
This is the Greenside Place one earlier. He obviously had a career change too.

Thanks rootgatherer. It seems younger women were the way to go. Interesting that David should die from 'gout - years and gastric irritation - 2 days'. Maybe from self medication. Lots to chew over with my sisters.

How would I find out if Emily, Edward, John and James went to the Workhouse between 1851 when their father died and 1855 when their mother emigrated? It could have been Holborn where their grandmother Susanna Hawley was. Just a thought.
Thanks,
Jill
