Is this couple Jose Maria Alvarez and Maria Francisca Campos? If so, they were married 25 Aug 1836 in Tlaltenango de Sanchez Roman, ZAC (image #558 in marriages for 1821-40). This names their parents, and notes there was a dispensation for second degree consanguinity. They might be first cousins!
I have seen cases where the first names of the women vary a bit: Ana Francisca could be the same as Maria Francisca; she could have been known as Maria, Ana, or Francisca in various records. Since the birth records name the grandparents, this would tend to prove that she used various names
If this is true, which I suspect it might be, then there is a fair amount of information in the Tlaltgenango de Sanchez Roman and Momax, Zacatecas records.
Jose and his bride were actually first cousins (they are both grandchildren of Antonio Campos and Eufracia Castaneda.
Briefly, the records I found are:

Thank you so much for this info! I have been stuck for years with this couple. I have never been able to find either of their parents and you have solved this for me. I am so very grateful. Will I be able to find this same info of the grandparents on familysearch? I live in Ohio and all our films must be ordered from one of the branches of the LDS Church. Senon Paulino would be my fathers' 4th great grandfather who married a Maria Campos. Senon or Paulino, as some of his records call him,also had a son, named Rafael Alvarez, married to Viviana Alva Valensuela. I have never been able to find his documents for his birth or christening. This couple had a son, Melecio or Melecio Alvarez who would have been my grandfather and my fathers father. My father, Amador Alvarez,was the son of Melecio Alvarez and Sara Campos Mota. I have not been able to find birth or christening record or death records for Melecio or Rafael. Would you be able to search for these names for me? I

Hello again George
This idea of first cousins and second cousins not getting dispensations has been shown to be a little bit of a problem. some brick walls that people have are because the groom and bride were related in this degree and only their silence on this matter allowed them to get married. Some times after they were married and had kids they suddenly discovered they were related. That happened in the Cervantes line. cousins marrying without a dispensation. They tried to hide the fact but it came out in the open in three situations, first at the wedding one of the fathers admitted that they were cousins but did not say primo hermano, just primos, Second, In a family tree where they did not list their children the grandfathers were listed as brothers, third a when false family tree that was created to show that Miguel Cervantes was closely related to them through the Cervantes line, it showed the grandfathers as brothers but falsely included Miguel's grandfather as a
