[edit] Family
He was a son of Peter Borthwick, editor of the Post, and Margaret Colville. His maternal grandfather was John Calville of Ewart, Northumberland.
[edit] Career
Algernon was sent to King's College School and later started his career in 1852 as the newspaper's Paris correspondent. He took over as editor when his father died, and in 1876 became proprietor.
Known as a conservative voice in the politics of the time, he was elected MP for Kensington South in 1885 and became an ally of Lord Randolph Churchill.
Knighted in 1880, he was created Baron Glenesk in 1895. The title became extinct upon Glenesk's death; he was buried in the East Finchley Cemetery.
[edit] Marriage and children
He married Alice Beatrice Lister (d. 1898) on 5 April 1870. Lady Glenesk was a daughter of novelist Thomas Henry Lister and his wife Lady Maria Theresa Villiers, a daughter of George Villiers,[1] and a sister of the 4th Earl of Clarendon.
Glenesk had two children:
* The Hon. Lilias Margaret Frances Borthwick (1871-1965), who married Seymour Bathurst, 7th Earl Bathurst, and had issue. Lady Bathurst eventually inherited The Morning Post.
* Oliver Borthwick (1873-1905), who predeceased his father, dying unmarried and without issue.
