On 18 Mar 1824 Father Álvarez forwarded the proceedings to Durango. On 21 Apr, the bishop granted a dispensation on the basis of angusti loci and assigned as penance that the couple would kneel and recite five mysteries of the rosary three times. During that year, they were to go to confession and take communion once more than required by Church precepts. He ordered the priest in Isleta to publish the banns three times. Assuming no new impediment arose, he was to marry the couple and give them the nuptial blessing.

Father Álvarez reported that in Isleta on 13 Jun 1824, he had married the couple and had given them the nuptial blessing. Witnesses were Miguel Padilla, Domingo Chaves and others to whom the dispensation was read.

On 23 Aug 1801 in Isleta, Father Josée Ygnacio Sánchez baptized five-day-old Jose Mariano, the legitimate son of José Gabriel Sánchez and Ursula Padilla. His godparents were José Antonio Yturrieta and his mother Bárbara de Serna.

Because he was unable to find a baptismal record for Ana María Peña, Father: Álvarez questioned Clara Sarracino, godmotther of Ana María Peña, and the mother of María Dolores Chaves. She told him that Father José Ygnacio Sánchez performed the baptism in Isleta Pueblo at the beginning of Feb 1808. She added that Ana María's godfather was Rafael Sarracino, and that he lived 30 leagues from Isleta.
