Cipriano LERENA (of Trinidad)

One of the men fathering Lerena children at Trinidad, Flores in the 1870s and 1880s. Wife: Lauriana BELOQUI. 3 children 1875-1891. Six or seven men of a rare surname in one small inland town in a handful of years are almost certainly brothers or first cousins - this looks like the founding kindred of the surname in Uruguay. No Pablo and no Armando anywhere in the set. AND HE IS A SON OF MAURICIO LERENA OF COLLA, 9 October 2026 - WHICH BRIDGES TWO HOUSES THIS ARCHIVE HELD APART. The Flores birth act of his daughter Carmen Donata, 2 March 1895 at El Tala, has him declare in person as 'Don [C]ipriano Lerena de CUARENTA Y DOS anos de edad, casado, oriental, HACENDADO y vecino de esta seccion' - so born about 1853 - with his wife 'Dona Laureana Belo[qui] de TREINTA Y NUEVE anos' and his own parents as 'nieto por linea paterna de MAURICIO, oriental, FALLECIDO, y de CASIMIRA MONTANO de SETENTA Y CUATRO anos de edad, VIUDA'. THAT NAMES HIS WIFE AND BOTH HIS PARENTS IN ONE ACT, which is why the separate row 'Cipriano LERENA Montana' - known only from a 1928 death-registration index - is merged into this one. THE PAIR HAD BEEN SPOTTED AND HELD APART SINCE 21 SEPTEMBER; AN ACT DECIDED IT RATHER THAN A FORENAME. SO THREE CHILDREN ALREADY IN THIS REGISTER - Doroteo Donato, Maria Leonor and Lauriana LERENA Beloqui - ARE GRANDCHILDREN OF MAURICIO LERENA AND CASIMIRA MONTANO, and a fourth, Carmen Donata, is added. HE COULD NOT WRITE: the act records that he 'manifesto no saber escribir' and signed by another's hand. TWO MORE CHILDREN, FOUND UNDER TWO OTHER SPELLINGS - 12 October 2026. AMABELIA, born about 1880 and dead on 9 January 1899, came from the PERENA sweep; CASTO LINDOLFO, born 1 July 1882 and christened 5 February 1883, from the GERENA sweep. THIS ROW HELD THREE CHILDREN AND NOW HOLDS FIVE, and neither of the new two was reachable by searching LERENA. HIS OWN DEATH OF 19 MARCH 1928 IS CONFIRMED a third time by the GERENA sweep, which names his parents MAURICIO and CASIMIRA MONTANO.
