The story

  1. Where they came from

    No parent is named for this person in this archive yet.

  2. Life

    'LENGUAS DE LERENA JUSTINIANA', buried 23 January 1914 at San Francisco de Asis, aged seventy-three. The plate reads: 'El veinte y tres de Enero de mil novecientos catorce ... mande dar sepultura al cadaver de Justiniana Lenguas de Lerena, Oriental, de setenta y tres anos de edad; fallecio ayer'. No parents, husband, address or burial place are given, so the entry names a woman 'Lenguas, wife (or widow) of a Lerena', and nothing more.

    PROBABLY THE JUSTINIANA LENGUAS GONZALEZ OF THIS REGISTER (mother of the Lerena Lenguas children and wife of Luis Lerena y Fernandez, married 3 March 1842), but the AGE DOES NOT FIT: the register's own acts give her about 79 in December 1901 and 87 in 1908 (born about 1821-22), which would make her about 92 in 1914, and seventy-three would put her birth about 1841, a year before that marriage. NOT MERGED; a different Justiniana Lenguas de Lerena cannot be ruled out, and a mis-stated age in a Montevideo parish book of 1914 is common. Her death would be on 22 January 1914 (the entry is of the 23rd and says 'ayer'). Not in the Fidel / Isidora Izaural search; found while scanning this book for them.
