I have a document showing my 6th great grandmother and grandfather's marriage. I do not speak or read spanish. I need help reading and understanding the document, especially concerning his age and parents (Santiago Diaz and Juana Villalobos). Can anybody help me figure it out? I am hoping to be able to track my diaz line farther the parents. This is the link to the document.

The reason you are not finding much on the parents is probably because not all of the Teocaltiche records are indexed. I say Teocaltiche because it looks like Santiago and Juana had a daughter born there in 1713.

Only ones with a magnifying glass are text searchable. Also the marriage records from the expected marriage period look like they are missing in Teocaltiche. You may find other baptised children in the unindexed records.

The record also mentions "Estancia de Villalobos ". So try to research the Villalobos family that owned this Estancia. Another clue may be found in a document after this one that has Diego Villalobos as a witness.
