India-Edith Gladys nee Nevins Bonnett b q1 1900 Hildenborough, Kent
« on: Monday 09 November 15 14:51 GMT (UK) »
The above married Charles Arthur Louis Bonnett q4 1931 in London, he died in Romford 22 Nov 1931.
She appears to have emigrated to India on 2 occasions in 1934 and 1937, she was a nurse then midwife. I can find no record of her returning on either trip and wonder if she stayed there and what happened to her?

There is a son born circa 1938. The family were in the UK in 1953 and returned to Bombay on the Batory from Southampton on 20 September 1953. There's an address in Rugby - 46 Tower Road.

"Rev. Jehangir Darashah,  a Parsee convert from a well-known family "

"After the revival meetings in the Queen of Hill Stations, Ooty, I remained behind as the guest of our old friends, the Darashahs. Rev. Darashah was then occupying the pulpit of the Union Church, Ooty, where once the famous international cricket star, Charles Studd, had been a pastor. Living in the manse, I heard Mrs. Darashah say with pain and frustration, “If doctors from England and Switzerland are no longer willing to come to the jungle parts of the foothills of the Nilgiris, why are there not Indian doctors willing to take up the slack?” This dear English lady had given so many years of her life to labour as a nurse in a needy part of Uttar Pradesh and loved the Indian people greatly."

There are a few mentions (and some photos) of the Darashahs in this Breeks School magazine from 1955.
