Father Bernal forwarded the proceedings to Durango on 23 Mar 1801, stating that he was certain of the impediment in the fourth degree of consanguinity and that there was no other basis for a dispensation other than angusti loci. There were no other people of the same station for them to mary whom they were not related. The prospective groon was orphaned of both parents.

In Durango on 27 April 1801, Viscar General Fernández Valentín, acting for Bishop Olivares y Benito, granted a dispensation of the basis of angusti loci.
