I'm currently translating this article into Danish. A user has asked a few questions on the talk page on da.wiki(in Danish), stating that he's a bit confused about a few things in the article. As I've merely translated it, I think it's fine to ask them here, too (@LouisAragon: Maybe you have the answers?). He asked the following questions (translated into English):
If she was called "Sampsonia" at birth and "Lady Shirley" after marriage, when was she called "Teresa Sampsonia"?
It says in the note immediately after her name in bold that she had a first name when she was baptized (but not when she was baptized)
It is also unclear whether the first name was Romanized when she was baptized (if so, why—it was in the Safavid kingdom), or whether it is different transcriptions or transliterations of a name in Persian or other language
