The Search for David Borthwick - Appendix
Appendix
The originals of David Borthwick’s letters are now in the Alexander Turnbull Library of the National Library of New Zealand in Wellington where in view of the New Zealand People’s great regard for their history and heritage I am sure that they will be looked after with great care for the foreseeable future.
I should like to take this opportunity of thanking the following people for their help in the search:
Alistair and Craig Andrew, Dalkey, Dublin, R.O.I.
George Cowe (Uncle George) Carrickknowe, Edinburgh.
Marian Lee, Christchurch, New Zealand.
The Mayor and Corporation of Gisborne, NZ.
Iain Gillies, the Editor of the Gisborne Herald
Linda Schager, Te Kawa, Te Awamutu, NZ.
Elizabeth J.Sharpe, Archivist, Wanganui Museum
In April 1991, some 15 months after we met him, Uncle George died peacefully in his sleep. But for our finding him the year before, we would probably not have found Jean, would not have gone to New Zealand, would not have met Marian Lee (who died in 1994); this story could not have been written.
