Could anyone help me with Spanish Names ?

I don't see "segundo" at all, it looks like more syllables that that to me with a longtailing off of the final letter

[Dyingout]

It looks like Villaparia del  XXX "Leon" 

Looks like Nievo  to me

The first paragraph is talking about the parents of a girl. I presume this is a baptismalrecord?

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!

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

veintún años  [21 years]

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

Thank you very much, if it seems that some things will be impossible to decipher. And that taking into account the certificate is not that old (90 years), I don't know how they understood it in the past!!

The hand writing is just plain ghastly.

Place name is Villafranca del Sierro, Leon in the old province of Avila. To be found north west of Madrid in the Castile and Leon region. Beautiful part of Spain with many of the oldest historical Castillian towns.

del Sierro?

I agree, that's what it looks like but when did 'Sierra' change its gender?

[MonicaL]

It is not la sierra in the way you are thinking. El Sierro can also be used as name. There is for example:

Rio Sierro
Cruz del Sierro
Camino del Sierro
Castillo Sierro

And the rest!

Added: Sorry meant to say, I think it is still connected to sierra and its meaning, latin origin 'serra' mountain range.

Hmm, not when I look it up, it isn't.  I get corrected to Villafranca de la Sierra.    In fact, though, I think this is Villafranca del Bierzo [which is in León].
