James Johnston born in 1888. Where i do not know.

I have been told by another researcher that his wife's christian names were Edith Alma.

James was a Magistrate in the Indian Civil Service.

Does anyone have the means or ways of looking to see if they married in India please?
They had a Son Edmund born in Bengal 1907.
