I'm researching an ancestor of william pratley whyton and he got married in India whilst in the armed forces, i was wondering if anyone would know any information.

Thank you in advanced

When and who to?

My gran thinks her name was Irene and she think's they married in th1930's to 1940's.

Two possible marriages but the one in India looks best.

From GRO Index to Army Returns of Marriage (1881-1955) page 67, 1936-1940, names ending WHI-WIL

Whyton, William P, Spouse Dixon; Station: Bangalore Year: 1937 Page: 232
