Yeah, the first Doctor, William Hartnell, travelled with a science teacher and a history teacher from his granddaughter's school, named Ian and Barbara respectively.
More interesting is that the fourth Doctor, Tom Baker, travelled with companions, among whom were Sarah Jane Smith and Lt. Harry Sulivan, who often travelled together. They were played by Elisabeth Sladen and Ian Marter.
Notice that? The actors who played the fourth Doctor's companions were named Ian and Elisabeth.
