I think that given her short life, the few facts we know and the three sources we have found, this is about all we can do for the biography of Mary Borden.

WikiTree hasn't made this process very easy. It takes time, like learning anything new. Be patient. Ask questions. Read the instructions. Ask more questions. Ask somebody else and you might get an answer that makes sense. Don't give up on the first person you asked. Ask them new questions. Repeat. Pretty soon it will click.
