According to records found by Francisco Sisneros in the marriage banns for Mexico City at the Asunción Cathedral, Juan Bautista Pino (ONMF: 258), native of Albenga, Italy and the son of Juan Bautista Pino and María de Domingo, registered marriage banns with Petronila Teresa de Ávila y Calle, native of Mexico City and the daughter of Juan Joseph de Ávila and Francisca Pérez de la Calle (Herencia, vol. 8, no. 1, Jan. 2000; p. 2).

With this information, it has been possible to locate the marriage record for the parents of Petronila Teresa de Ávila y Calle. In LDS #0035255, marriage records for the Asunción Cathedral in Mexico City, a register of marriage banns for Juan Joseph de Ávila and Francisca Daza (also known as Pérez de la Calle) has been located. Below is a transcription of the record:

Juan Joseph de Avila natural de la Ciudad de Alcanatara en la estremadura residente En este Reyno Y Ciudad de Mexico de ocho meses de esta parte hijo lexitimo de Don Alonso de Avila y de Doña Maria Calderon Con Doña Francisca Daza hija lexitima de Juan Perez de la Calle y de Doña Angela Daza

From this document, we learn that Juan Joseph de Ávila was a native of Alcántara, Spain, in the present day province of Extremadura. His parents were Alonso de Ávila and María Calderón. We also learn that Petronila's mother was Francisca Daza, or Pérez de la Calle, whose parents were Juan Pérez de la Calle and Ángela Daza.

On the same LDS roll of film, the marriage banns for Juan Peres de la Calle and Ángela Daza can also be read. Dated 20 April 1659, we learn that Juan Peres de la Calle, native of Sierra de Pinos, was the son of Juan Peres de la Calle and Juana de Ávila. He married Ángela Dasa, a native of Mexico City and the daughter of Alonso Hernandes and Elvira Dassa.
