Second Generation

5. José Francisco BESTEIRO GUIZA² was born on 15 Dec 1819 in Sta. Mª de Franqueán, Lugo, Spain.^6,7 The document fragment with the birthdates of the Besteiro Guiza siblings has December 15, 1819. The 1855 Madrid census has December 19. He was baptized on 15 Dec 1819 in Sta. Mª de Franqueán, Lugo, Spain.⁶ From source, «Nació y se bautizo en quince de Diciembre de mil ocho cientos diez y nueve, le bautizó D. Francisco Aldegunde vecino que fué de la Riveira.» He immigrated about 1841 to Madrid, Spain.⁷ He served in the army between 1845 and 1850 in Spain.⁸ According to Juan Antonio DE LA RICA he served in the second Carlist war (c. 1847-1849). . He opened a food store before 1850 in Madrid, Spain.⁹ José, tras años de ir y venir, adquirió un buen local en la mejor zona de Madrid . . . Estaba en la esquina de la Costanilla [de Santiago] con la calle de Milaneses. (Aquired a location in the best part of Madrid . . . ) He died about 1879 in Madrid, Spain?.^2,4,10,11 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.)

José Francisco BESTEIRO GUIZA and Juana Peregrina FERNÁNDEZ GARCÍA were married before 1851. They lived at Costanilla de Santiago, 15, in Madrid, Spain between 1851 and 1873.^4,7 Vivía [José] en Costanilla de Santiago, 15 con su esposa Juana, la madre Guiza y cuatro criados, cuyos nombres menciona. . . En esa misma casa, ocupando además el 2o piso, viven en 1873 José, Juana, Carmen, Julián, María y esposo Julián López y Herminia y ocho sirvientes. En 1874 no figuran en "S. Ginés."
They lived at C / Mayor, 85, in Madrid, Spain in 1877.⁴ Los mismos que en 1874 [sic, ¿1873?], excepto Herminia; si Honorio y Amalia y ocho sirvientes. Juana Peregrina FERNÁNDEZ GARCÍA^5,11 (daughter of Julián FERNÁNDEZ and María GARCÍA) was born on 27 Dec 1829 in San Ildefonso, Madrid, Spain.^2,7 She died about 1886 in Madrid, Spain.^2,10 Josefa BESTEIRO GRACCIANI's birth certificate states that Juana was a widow at the time of Josefa's birth in 1884. Lama de Espinosa claims that Juana died when her son Julián was about 16. (Emilio's note: I assume this means that if Juana had married Domingo CASTEDO, that he would have died by 1884 . . . or? . . . The entire second marriage of Juana is still surrounded by mystery . . . )
