Francisco Antonio Gonza.lez, SO, eJpaffo~ was widowed of Maria de la Luz Candelaria and a
life-long resident of La Canada. Maria Genrudis Madrid, 23, espanola, single, a life-long resident of
La Canada, was the legitimate daughter of Cristobal Madrid and Maria Bustos, citizens of Santa
Cruz. The couple was related in the third and fo~rth degrees of,consanguinity and in the fourth
degree of consanguinity on a transverse line. The prospective bride's parents were poor with few
opportunities for work, and Francisco could support her in an average manner.
Father Castro questioned Francisco Gonzalez. He stated that in addition to the
impediments mentioned in their petition, there was an impediment in the second degree of affinity
on the basis of his illicit sexual relations with a first cousin of his intended. He had also had carnal
relations with Maria Gertrudis, although they did not know they were related ar that time nor was it
not done with a depraved end in mind or to facilitate obtaining a dispensation.
Witnesses: Carlos Zamora, 62, citizen of the La Canada jurisdiction, stated that Prancisco
was known to frequent Maria Gertrudis's house, but that it had not caused a scandal.
Antonio Jose Olivas, 60, citizen of the La Caiiada jurisdiction.
