We don´t know for sure if Caractacus and Mr Borgin were the original founders, don´t we? Their ancestors may have been.--Rodolphus 17:13, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

That's a true. Considering the shop was founded in the 1860's and Burke was running it in the 1920s their can't have been too large of a gap -- around fourty years -- so possibly a father of perhaps even a grandfather could have started it. --Parodist 11:29, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

No, wait, Caractacus and Mr Borgin definately founded the shop. According to Dumbledore in HBP, Caractacus helped found the shop where the necklace that nearly killed Katie Bell was purchased. --Parodist 23:39, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
