William and Elizabeth’s youngest child, Christopher Thomas Borer, was born on 11 Sep 1872 and baptised on 27 Sep 1872. His mother Elizabeth died in
September and Christopher died a few days later in October which suggests that both deaths may have been related to the birth. Elizabeth was only 33
years old.
Palmerston Buildings have been
difficult to locate but they were
the home for many families.
They follow City Garden Row in
the 1871 Census and that is
where the Borer family can be
found 10 years later.
