Not only are women hard to find in the written record: often, just when you've found one, she slips out of view. Such is the case with Bakhty Sultan, daughter of Sali Bey [clan unknown], wife of Sefirşa Mirza Şirin, and mother to at least one son. We know this from the noble register entry of 1838. Seven years later she disappears - other deceased or simply left off the "list of confirmed nobles" that includes her husband and son.
