Are they from the same document? If so could you please put up a link to the document or more of the writing around the individual names. Is this a marriage, birth or death corticate?Hello shanreagh, thank you very much for your attention.
One (No3) of the names looks like Manuelo/Manuela?

And the 'B' looks like the 'B' in Bilbao.
Erato, I am with you on this now Villafranca del Bierzo it must be.

It looks like 'domiciliado en el segundo' to me. But second what?
Don Angel Larúa and Doña Felipa Lissa
I don't see "segundo" at all, it looks like more syllables that that to me with a longtailing off of the final letter
The first paragraph is talking about the parents of a girl. I presume this is a baptismalrecord?Thanks a lot. I had no idea about extremadura, in fact I thought he was Italian but it seems that it doesn't say anything about it. Thank you very very much
veinticinco anos (can't do a spanish squiggle over the N on this computer unfortunatley, please pretend it's there!) --- 25 years
veintiun anos -- should be ventinuno, I can't persuade myself of a final "o" -- but 21 years
I can't work out the profession, I'm tempted to see "mujer" (ie woman)! She's from Bilbao but living in ---- ?? - do you know which city this is from? Actually it says "living in the ---" so may not be a place name.
The second paragraph mentions the grandparents ("nieta" = granddaughter) Nogales is in central Spain (but you probably know that already), in the province of Extremadura. I can't work out the word following Nogales, but it's "(unknown word) and of Dona Celia XXvassia". This is the paternal line. On the maternal line it's Don Angel Sarvia, and I'm not sure where he's from either. It looks like Villaparia del XXX "Leon" but I can't see any such name on the map. I think the final name is Dona Felizia Lina of Bilbao.
So there's a lot still missing but there's my starter for 10. I speak pretty fluent Spanish but the handwriting is foxing me rather than the language!
