Castedo family per Emilito

From Josefa BESTEIRO GRACCIANI's 1884 birth certificate we know he was dead at the time of her birth. Lamo de Espinosa claims that José died when his son Julián was about 8 or 9 years old. Urbano Melendo (generally very accurate in his calculations) claims José died in 1879. Juan DE LA RICA CASTEDO claims that Juana married Domingo CASTEDO around 1878, after Jose's death. (Según Juan DE LA RICA CASTEDO, después de la muerte de José, Juana casó con el viudo de su hermana, Domingo CASTEDO.) Probably died in Madrid, although there is no documentation.

De la Rica says October 1878, but per Madrid archivist Urbano Melendo, "de otros libros parroquiales y de Matrículas se desprende de que D. José Besteiro Guiza falleció en 1879 . . . " If this is the case, the marriage would not have taken place until at least 1880, probably later "si guardaban luto por Don José." In addition, in Dec. 1881 she is living with her children Ricardo, Carmen, Julián and Juana. Josefa BESTEIRO GRACIANI's 1884 birth certificate states that Juana was a widow at the time of Josefa's birth in 1884: (Emilio's note: I assume this means that if Juana had married Domingo CASTEDO, that he would have died by 1884, but it seems from de la Rica's book that he lived later than this.

Baptized at San Ginés.

Born at Principe de Anglona, 1. Full name: Emilio César Pedro.

Full name: Jorge Amando. His 1889 birth certificate is the first birth, marriage or death certficate that I've found (Emil SIGNES, as of 2009) in which the spelling Gracciani ("cc") was used. Es el primer caso que sepa yo en que se usa la ortografía Gracciani (es decir "cc") en un acto de nacimiento, casamiento, o defunción.

Lama de Espinosa claims that Juana died when her son Julián was about 16 (1886-87).
