Yes, I thought so too, it has been mentioned in several books that her older sister died, leaving her the sole heir to the fortune.
Also, the parents were older, born in 1827 and 1828, it is unusual they would not have had a child before 1861. I think of this because I was born in 1961 and my parents in 1927 and 1928, and I was the third of 4 kids. Especially back then with the desire for heirs, and lack of birth control, it would be unusual they would not have a child until they were over 30, especially a woman. I have never heard of any other babies dying in infancy before Zenaida, have you?

Somewhere I have read their was a baby brother Boris who died in infancy. One of the reasons could have been that there were numerous miscarriages amongst the way. Queen Anne, the last Stuart monarch had into the teens of children and all but one died in earliest infancy.The sole survivor reached the age of 11 !!!!.It could have been an equally sad scenario. The dates for Tatiana come from a book on Arkhangelskoye published in 1984. In another book, "Russian Court Memories" published here (UK) in 1917 by an anonymous author. The writer who is obviously au fait with the family mention the younger Tatiana. Hope this of help.

Am seeking information on Pss. Zenaide's sister, Tatiana, born 1866. Of particular interest is her death and the months leading up to her death. Thank you all, Elizaveta
