| Administrative History | Frederick Boreham (1888-1966) was born in Tunbridge Wells, Kent and educated at St Aiden's College, Birkenhead and St John's Hall Durham. He was ordained deacon in 1913 and appointed to the curacy of Holy Trinity Church, Hull. He was accepted as a CMS missionary in 1915 but did not sail for China until 1917 when he began his missionary service in Mien Yong, Western China. In 1918 he married fellow missionary, Caroline Mildred Slater. Missionaries in Western China in the 1920s faced grave difficulties due to the political disturbances so when Boreham returned to England in 1924 he was unable to return to China. In 1927 he resigned from service with the CMS but was reaccepted when the foreign missionaries were allowed to return and the following year was made Archdeacon of Western Szechwan. He finally retired from active service in 1935 but in 1938 he was appointed CMS representative on the Board of Governors of West China Union University. Frederick Boreham died in Falmouth in 1966.
