The 1679 baptism calls Isabel Pedro’s lawful wife and witnesses say they were married and blessed. The parish priest found no marriage entry and reported a lost book.

Record

Cayetano Rey Villamarín · hidalguía, 1743

ARChV, Sala de Hijosdalgo, 935/32 (reference read from the image stamp)

A 1743 proceeding recognising Cayetano Rey Villamarín’s established hidalgo status, read from 120 photographed images. It copies authenticated parish entries of 1643, 1679, 1702 and 1711, sworn witness statements, a tax-roll certificate and the Ribadavia council’s recognition. The public catalogue entry has not yet been matched, so the reference is provisional. Witness statements about ancestral houses repeat what elders said.
