Hola Jaime , I contacted a prima Marylou Montaga who assisted the author Jose Luis Vazquez -Genealogia de Nochistlan- she was asking for a copy of the acta you possess.

Hola Jaime ,In Jose Luis Vazquez 's book Genealogia de Nochistlan -chapter 58 page 191 -the author Jose Luis Vazquez has written I would think he wrote from the acta de matrimonio-EN 14 DE FEBRERO DE 1616 ANOS DESPOSSE A JUAN DE PADILLA(Y DELGADILLO),NATURAL DE XERES CON DONA PETRONA DE SIORDIA ECT. SIENDO TESTIGOS ALONSO PERES Y NICOLAS MORILLO Y JUAN GIL,ESTANTES EN ESTA VILLA DE AGUASCALIENTES.VELARONSE A 13 DE ENERO ANOS FUERON PADRINOS LOPE RUIS DE ESPARZA DONA MARIA DE SIORDIA CUNADA DEL DICHO JUAN DE PADILLA
I don't know what to think. I would gather that the author Jose Luis Vazquez did his home work. Can't call it.
