It's interesting - the address was at Queen's Gardens but the birth of their son in 1900 was at Dunnottar, The Peak. Was the higher altitude of the Peak the preferred safe place to give birth for certain pregnant expat women with social connections "up there" when bubonic plague and other infectious diseases were always a risk lower down in the City?
