Notes for Katharine Hilda Borwick
Her birth index:

Name:                        Mother's Maiden Surname:
BORWICK, KATHARINE HILDA     PATTERSON  
GRO Reference: 1914  J Quarter in ST. GEORGE HANOVER SQUARE  Volume 01A  Page 752
___________________

No further records for any other event for her.

Burke’s Peerage in the Borwick article says she married Ashton Ulyate and had four children.  Now to prove this:

On 27 Sept 1938 she was on the ship Mantola, aged 24 and of Gerbeaux, Puckle Lane, Canterbury travelling from London to Kenya.

It is possible, from Burke’s report in 2002 of her marriage to the son of a Tanganyikan, and of some of her offspring residing in New Zealand and South Africa (and possibly other places), that she married someone while she was in Kenya or in Tanganyika and settled there.  If this happened there is no possibility of confirming this from published records as if there are any records, they definitely are not published in those countries.

So all I can do is quote from Burke and hope that eventually someone may be able to produce data from public records.

by the kindness of BillionGraves,

I have sent the picture of their memorials to Burke’s Peerage to add their death dates to their Borwick file for any future edition
Notes for Ashton Jack & Katharine Hilda (Family)
Katharine left on a boat for Kenya on 27 Sept 1938.  My guess is that she got there, found her man, married him later the following year and then settled in that region, moving to New Zealand in later life, possibly after the death of Ashton, to join one of her children and their family.
