When I began researching my family tree in the early 1970s, a now-deceased cousin told me a relative & spouse had been the first Salvation Army members to be married in India. He once had a news clipping, but apparently lost it. The surname was most likely Borrett, but other possibilities might be Cheetham, Gardner, Day, Jones, among others. Anyone have an idea how I might trace this story down? I've tried the Salvation Army in London with no success. Any help much appreciated. Wayne, Ohio, USA

Researching:
Pfaff (Hessen, Germany; Sandusky, Ohio), Haynes/Haines (New Jersey; Ohio), Cheetham (Sowerby Bridge, Yorkshire; Lancashire; London area; Ohio; Ontario, Canada; Australia), Borrett (Suffolk; Surrey; Greenwich, Kent: Ontario, Canada; New Zealand), Gardener (Kent, England; Australia), Harling (London; Surrey), Courcell (London), Woolgar (Sussex; Kent), Goodhew (Kent)
