While researching my ancestry in Spain, I found a marriage in Mondragon, Guipuzcoa, Spain in September 1771 between Miguel de Prendergast and Josefa de Bolinaga y Lapaza Cortazar. The Priest who performed the marriage recorded Miguel’s parents as Thomas and Cathlina de Prendergast. He listed the Prendergasts as being from “Clementent, Yrlanda, Obispo de Boutea” and resident in Mondragon.
There is a family legend that an ancestor who was in the Spanish Armada and washed up on the beach in Ireland after his ship was sunk, married an Irish women, brought her to Spain and that there were subsequent marriages between our two families over the succeeding years.
Any information on the Prendergast family in Spain and where Clementent and Boutea are would be appreciated. Thank you.
