Life
THE MARRIAGE OF A DAUGHTER OF PEDRO ANTONIO LERENA AND VICENTA VEGA, found 10 November 2026 in the Montevideo cathedral marriage book. Heading 'Dr D. Estanislao Vega: con Amelia Lerena'. Body, as read at the plate and zoomed: the Reverendisimo Sr Vicario granted the dispensation 'en la forma ordinaria' for the degree of kinship, 'primero con segundo', in which the contracting parties stood; and after the penance was done the priest authorised, by the Rite of Our Holy Mother Church and the Manual Toledano, the marriage that by words of present contracted the Dr D.

Estanislao Vega, 'natural de la Repca', single, legitimate son of the 'finados' D. Romualdo and Da Maria And. or Ant. (abbreviated) Maistro, with Da Amelia Lerena, 'tambien soltera, de esta Repca', 'hija leg.ma de D. Pedro Ant.o Lerena y Da Vicenta Vega'; witnesses 'los padres de la contrayente'. WHAT THE ACT STATES: the bride's surname is Lerena, written whole, and her parents are named as Pedro Antonio Lerena and Vicenta Vega, both present as the witnesses on 6 July 1851. WHAT IS INFERRED, NOT STATED: the groom's father Romualdo and his mother Maistro match the parents of Vicenta Vega in the 1837 baptism act (Romualdo Vega and Andrea Maestre, the rows of this register); if the groom's mother is Andrea, Estanislao is Vicenta's brother and so the bride's mother's brother, which is the 'primero con segundo' degree (uncle and niece) that the dispensation names - but the act does not say 'tio' or 'sobrina', the mother's forename is abbreviated and her surname is spelt Maistro here and Maestre there. PROBABLY THE SAME GIRL AS the Emilia LERENA Vega of the 1850 padron (eighteen, in household 229, daughter of a Pedro A. Lerena and a Vicenta Vega): the same two parents' names, Amelia against Emilia; NOT MERGED, because that padron household is itself unresolved (see that row and data/corrections.tsv). If Pedro Antonio is the son of Sancho, as his own baptism of 1793 at Canelones has him (his row), Amelia is a first cousin of Gil Lerena; nothing in this act names Gil, Fidel or Isidora. Tier: PRIMARY for the act itself (plate read, zoomed); the identity with Emilia and the kinship to Gil and to the groom are inference.
