Borough, Baronet. — The very learned Elie Bouhéreau (see chap, xii.) had a son, John, a clergyman, and another son, a Mayor of Dublin. The son of the latter, Richard, transmuted the surname into Borough. He had a son, Lieutenant-Colonel William Blakeney Borough, and a younger son, Sir Richard Borough, Bart, (so created 12th November 1813). Sir Richard (born 1756, died 1837), had married in 1799 Anna Maria, eldest daughter of Gerard, Viscount Lake, and was succeeded by his son, Sir Edward Richard Borough, Bart., D.C.L. (born 1800), who married Lady Elizabeth St. Lawrence, daughter of the Earl of Howth. Deep sympathy was felt for Sir Edward on the death of his two sons, Edward (before Sebastopol in 1855), and William (accidentally drowned in 1856). Thus he was the last baronet of Glenaveena, and died on 3rd December 1879. He is represented by his daughter, Margaret Anne Maria, Lady Campbell, widow of Sir George Campbell, Hart., of Succoth and Garscube.
