Viuda and Soltera

By gpf13 | 12:22 AM MST, Fri February 27, 2009

Can the terms "viuda" (widow) and "soltera" (spinster, or single woman) be used interchanged? That is, could "soltera" describe a women who is actually a widow?

I have a 1739 death record from Aguascalientes for Josepha Rodrigues where "soltera" is used. Her parents are named, but there is no other information. I also have what may be her husband's (Salvador Ponse) death record from 1738, where it states that he is married to Josepha Rodrigues.

También debes tener en cuenta si se casó o fue madre soltera, ya que si pudo haber tenido hijos, pero sin casar y a la hora de morir en el acta asentaban que era soltera, lo se porque tengo un caso así.

Saludos.

Viuda and Soltera

I also know about an unmarried man in Aguascalientes who had two
illegitimate children with the same woman. He is listed as "soltero" in his
burial record. His daughter, who married 10 years after her father's death,
is listed as "hija natural" in "informaciones matrimoniales". Her mother's
name is included in the same record. Her father died single because he
never married her mother.

Viuda y soltera

Definitivamente decirle a una viuda soltera no es lo normal segun los registros que he estado investigando, los registros parroquiales son muy claros en ese aspecto, siempre el termino Viuda o Viudo se ponia claro en los registros parroquiales para designar a quien ya habai perdido a su conyuge, y esto se nota claramente en los registros de las personas que volvian a contraer matrimonio o cuando registraban la muerte de un hijo.
A si que investiga muy bien tus registros para que quede todo claro, saludos.
