- Musuru
- "Madam Musuru, wife of the Turkish Ambassador was taken ill at the
Indian House Ball, given to the Sultan, on Friday July 19th 1867,
and died quickly."
This was found by the Norfolk transcribers for FreeREG. It was
handwritten on a cutting from "THE RECORD" newspaper, stuck to the
cover of the Fincham register of burials 1863-1931. The cutting is a
philosophical paragraph about The tragic side of life, perhaps
chosen for its suitability for a burial register. It is not known what
the Musuru connection is with Fincham.
