Many thanks for your message and I you have found my tree useful.  You must mean William Henry Pead Mackintosh?  How fascinating.  I don't currently have paid membership to Ancestry.  I hope to do so again in future however.

Many thanks for your message ThreeMacks.  I have a tree on Ancestry called 'The Mackintosh Family Of Totteridge Lodge,' which may well be of interest to you.  Members of the family who are known to have migrated to Mexico from London are Ewen Clark Mackintosh, his brother Henry Alexander Mackintosh and their nephew William Lyster Hay Mackintosh.

Dear Gabriel,

Apologies for my slow reply.  How have you been getting on?  Were you able to find my tree on Ancestry.co.uk?  (I am not sure whether you can access it without a paid account).  If not, I'll see if I can find another way to get it to you.  I would love to hear from Henry's descendants.  Do feel free to pass on my details.  I am (*).

I don't know much about Manning and Mackintosh I'm afraid, beyond what is recorded in the articles available via a simple Google search, which I'm sure you have found also.  If it's of any interest to you however, I do know that Ewen Clark Mackintosh's father, Ewen Mackintosh, also declared himself bankrupt.  Yet, interestingly, this does not appear to have affected his lifestyle greatly.  He continued to live in his impressive home in Westminster (nextdoor to today's Theatre Royal) and passed his business on to his son James.  I've also often wondered whether Manning was any relation of Cardinal Manning, whose family lived in the small village of Totteridge Hertfordshire where the Mackintoshes later moved. 

I know that Ewen Clark Mackintosh had three sons - Albert Ewen, Charles, and Francesco Xavier (they all came back to England to attend Harrow and are recorded on the school register which is also available on Ancestry.co.uk).  Do you know if he had any further children and what became of them?

Best wishes,

Miranda

Hello GMC,

I was very excited to find your message as I would love to be able to find out more about the later life of Ewen Clark Mackintosh and any descendants he has in Mexico. 

I am the one with the family tree.  Do you have access to the site www.ancestry.co.uk?  It is listed on there as 'The Mackintosh Family of Totteridge Lodge, Hertfordshire' (which was the home of Ewen's brother James) and is fully-referenced.  As you have probably gathered from this thread, Ewen Clark Mackintosh was the son of Ewen Mackintosh, who owned Mackintosh & Co. Saddle Company.  This was passed to him by his father, Alexander Mackintosh.  The family lived in Haymarket in Westminster, London and, prior to that, in Golden Square, Soho, London.  They are believed to have originated from Inverness in Scotland. 

Ewen Clark's brother Henry Alexander Mackintosh also emigrated to Mexico, as did their nephew William Lyster Hay Mackintosh.  I'm afraid I don't know a great deal beyond the details of births, marriages and deaths but am happy to help as much as I can.

Best wishes,

Miranda

Thank you Sandy, you are so kind.  You're right, the Bourchiers are very interesting, aren't they?

I'm almost certain that Elizabeth's son Thomas (Mackintosh) married a Mary Pead.  I'll have a look for the Thomas Bourchier 1826 though.  Elizabeth herself lived to be in her 80s after all, so it's entirely possible that her father did too.

Well done Sandy!  I think that may indeed be 'my Elizabeth.'  She went on to have fourteen children (possibly more!) of whom Catherine was the youngest.  There was also a Thomas amongst them.  I'll let you know if I find any more information which confirms it, such as proof of a Thomas Bourchier who moved to Westminster.  I don't suppose the baptism record hinted at occupations at all, did it?

Many thanks once again.

By the way,do  let me know if you come across any references to the Bourchiers (the family of Ewen's wife Elizabeth) in any of the documents you have.  I've been trying to find details of her parentage for ages.

How annoying!  I've never used the IGI site.  Perhaps I should give it a try.

I'll see what I can come up with this week too.  Funnily enough, I am a member of the bank you mention and will see what their archivist has to say.  I would love to be able to go further with tracing Ewen Clark and Henry Alexander in Mexico so may look into that.

Oh you are so very kind Sandy.  The kindness and helpfulness of people on these boards is most impressive.

She was born Elizabeth Bourchier and died in 1853 at the age of 85, which would make her birthdate around 1768.  I actually started a thread about her here the other day.  Somebody else found me a reference from Canon Pyon for that year which is a possibility.  If you come across any other possibles, I'd be delighted.

I believe her family later moved to Westminster if that's any help.
