Marie,
I don't see a fit between our Soler families at this time.My information on Mercedes Escobar y Soler is from our Family Record Book and records that she married Francisco Fermin Barranco y Zayas in La Soledad Parish, Puerto Principe, Cuba on 23 Sept 1859.
I have not found many SOLER related events in the Cuban Parish records. Camaguey and Habana have about 18 each. The parish record indices in the other provinces have anywhere from 3-6. I also looked for alternatespellings/typos, such as Solis, Soles, but very few - just likethe number of Barranco parish index records.
I do have a Florestan de la Torre who married my Grandaunt, Maria de las Mercedes Barranco abt 1878 in Monroe Co, Florida (Key West) and also have a Carlos Varona Torres who was a sponsor at the marriage of my Grandaunt, Maria Soledad Teofila Barranco, in 1874 - probably in Key West also.
Thanks for your information,
Stephen
