The text shows how Francisco Garrido, 56 years old and married to Francisca Díaz, 48 years old, had three children. The first of them was 28 years old, single and worked serving in the house of Juan Gutiérrez; the second was 16 years old and lived with his uncle Esteban Díaz as he could not support him; the third and last was a 14 year old girl who was admitted to the General Hospital in Madrid. The family’s delicate situation meant that the wife worked in different houses washing clothes, although her wages were very low, while the husband tried to earn a living as a servant in a shop.
