There isn't a place in Moray named Borham; this has to be Boharm. The 1881 census lists a family at Inchberry, (parish of) Rothes, Moray a family consisting of Peter Tough, salmon fisher, aged 44, born Huntly, Aberdeenshire; his wife Joan McArthur Tough, aged 47, born Ardchlach (this is a misspelling of Ardclach), County of Nairn; and children including Peter, aged 19, tailor journeyman, born Boharm and Jane, aged 11, also born Boharm.
