Ada BurroughsIn 1903 Ada Moore was working as a laundry clerk in Scarborough, Yorkshire, when she was inspired by reports of Younghusband's expedition to Tibet and decided she was going to go there herself. In time, after training at the Missionary Training Collee in Chelsea, she applied to the only two missions working in that part of the world and was offered a place as a single sister with the Moravians in Ladakh, in Little (or Western) Tibet. She married a fellow missionary, Henry Burroughs, and they spent thirteen years in Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh. Ill health eventually caused them to return to England, where Harry was ordained into the Church of England. Read More Read Less
