Here the Marchesa Louisa Guadagni buries her mother and will also bury her sister's husband in this cemetery (E63/ ISAAC LUMLEY). Again an English woman marries into an Italian family, in this case of one of Florence's nobility, a family which owned palaces and Dante manuscripts. Sarah's husband Colonel Sir Francis Lee served in the Royal Marines where the pay was low and promotion much slower than in the regular army or navy. He spoke to this issue in Parliament in 1838, noting his pay was but £700 a year. He died suddenly while still on active duty, 29/10/1841, at Woolwich, the news reaching his wife in Florence (Genteman's Magazine, Elizabeth Maquay, Diary 7 58v). Allori inscription: SACRED/ TO THE MEMORY OF THE/ MARCHESA/ LOUISA GUADAGNI/ DAUGHTER OF/ SIR FRANCIS AND LADY LEE/ BORN 5TH DEC 1819/ DIED 30TH APRIL 1886. Adriano Guadagni read the 'English' Cemetery tomb inscription, which is very indistinct, and gave copies of the original wedding announcement and of a letter from Luisa to the Marchese Donato to the Swiss archives. The Webbs have genealogy.
