Annie Elizabeth De Nar Bey

Claims

1. Supported

   A person named Annie Elizabeth De Nar Bey — styling herself "Princess De Nar Bey" and named in the 1871 Chancery filing as the wife of Joseph De Nar Bey — appears as a co-defendant in Anderson v De Nar Bey (TNA C 16/693/A113). As with Joseph, the "commonly called" phrasing records that the princely styling was currently in use, not that it has been substantively endorsed. Her name pattern is distinctly English and does not match the naming pattern of Ambroise Calfa's Paris marriage to Marie-Louise-Joséphine Legoupil (1863); if Joseph is later confirmed as a brother of Ambroise, he married outside the Armenian / Catholic circle Ambroise remained inside. Her parentage, birthplace, and prior identity are not documented at tier-1 depth in the current record and are out of scope of this admission.
