Dolores POU de ZALDUONDO

Mother of Eduardo Zalduondo. The act gives her in the Spanish married form - POU de ZALDUONDO - so POU is her own surname, which is Catalan or Balearic. Named only on this act. AND THE 1913 CIVIL INDEX NAMES HER AS 'DOLORES POU', plainly, without the married form - 11 October 2026. It is the mother of the Eduardo who died at Montevideo on 22 August 1913, whose father it gives as Juan. THAT IS HER, HER HUSBAND AND HER SON, and it is the strongest single leg of the argument that the ZALDUANDO household of the civil index and the ZALDUONDO household of the 1903 plate are one: an index may mangle a Basque surname, but it did not invent a Dolores Pou married to a Juan with a son Eduardo. DEAD BY 22 AUGUST 1913 TOO, with her husband: her son's death act calls them both 'FALLECIDOS'. Read from the plate 11 October 2026, which also confirms her married form as 'DOLORES POU DE ZALDUONDO' on the 1903 baptism - so the surname this archive read as Zalsamendi was wrong on her row as on the others, while POU, her own surname, was right all along and was the single strongest thread tying the civil index's household to this one. SHE IS BRAZILIAN, AND THIS ARCHIVE HAD GUESSED OTHERWISE. Her son's marriage act of 20 November 1897 gives 'Dona DOLORES POU, de 58 anos, de estado casada, profesion labores de su sexo, de nacionalidad BRASILENA' - so born about 1839, and BORN IN BRAZIL. This row previously reasoned from the surname alone that POU 'is Catalan or Balearic', and said so twice. THE SURNAME MAY WELL BE CATALAN; SHE IS NOT. A surname is a clue to an origin several generations back and this row used it as a clue to hers. She was living at calle Convencion No. 226 with her husband in 1897 and was dead by August 1913.
