    I did find this record:

    https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F6BT-4KM

     

    please note the last name is a compound surname (as most Spanish names are)

    Vazquez Tellez

    Thank you Mr. Yancey! I had not seen this record prior to your email. All the family records I have seen show as Vazqueztellez.

    Why do you think Gregorio does not have the Vazquez Téllez surname?

    I didnt say that

    I was simply saying that most Spanish surnames are double (the name of the Father plus the name of the mother) - especially prior to 20th century.

    when you wrote "vazqueztellez" - it appeared to me most likely that this was "Vazquez Tellez" - Vaquez from the father and Tellez from the mother. - but I could be wrong.
