Archimandrite Constantine Stratoulis officiating; The Greek Gazette gives date 24 May 1866.

Notes:

The daughter of her God-daughter, Carolyn Agelasto Hughes, is named Marika.

J. Lord identifies her as Julia Perdikidi, more than ten years younger than her sister.

J. Lord suggests she was born around 1906.

John Tryphon Agelasto, her cousin, was appointed co-executor (with Emmanuel Xenophon Casdagli) of her estate. Her date of death was erroneously listed in the legal notice as 18 Sep 1965. Solicitors: Treatrail & James, Station Road, New Milton, Hants.
