Joanna Reghelini Harcourt died 1882

OF YOUR CHARITY PRAY FOR THE REPOSE OF THE
SOUL OF JOANNA MARIA, WIDOW OF THE
LATE HENRY MERRITT HARCOURT CE(?)  OF DUBLIN
AND SECOND DAUGHTER OF
 LATE MAJOR GEN ANTONIO REGHLINI
OF H.M. BEGUM SOMBRE'S SERVICE
REQUIESCAT IN PACE

Blogger: Checking the net for names that initially were illegible, I
discovered that Major Gen Antonio Reghlini, was also the architect of the
 Sardhana Church in  Meerut. I was left a little puzzled by the
Wiki page that gave
 Begum Samru or Sombre's name as Joanna!
I have spelled Reghlini according to what I could make out from the
inscription on the net. I failed to find any mention of
Henry Harcourt or where he was buried.
BORN ON THE 5TH OCTOBER 1823
 DIED ON THE 20TH  OCTOBER 1882

It would be interesting to know who had this
grave repaired and when! The original sandstone
has been cemented to hold it together!!
Just for the record I couldn't help pointing out the spelling of
Reghlini on this grave that differs from what I've come across
 on the net
