Sisters Ancien

Prince Paul Nicholas Alexandrov Romanov, born 1843

Lady Andromeda Kent Wembley Alexander, born 1847

This is the primary pairing, wed 1866

They had five daughters.

Rose Marie, born 1867
Iris Marie, born 1870
Lily Marie born 1872
Violet Marie, born 1874
Ethel Marie born 1887

Rose Marie was wed to a Mr Price Reynolds in 1886. She gave birth to

Eurydice Marie, born 1890

So a little family history. The family followed Nicky acrosss the Atlantic in 1887. He had previously been back and forth to the 'Americas', his term for the US west. And yes she gave birth to Ethel during the passage.

The two girls while from different generations were raised as siblings. They grew up as Americans. As we have read previously, Violet died in England 1885. She was exhumed and removed to Denver and put into the family plot. Iris Marie disappeared in Chicago in 1888 and no one ever heard from her again. It was the family legacy that she eloped and then lost track of the family. So I suppose there is part of the family out there that does not know of their family.
