English:
Twice I have tried to trace back my last name past 1862, but every time I arrive at a dead end. While I have been able to trace my parents’ other last names further back (Ruiz Velasco, Aguirre, Aguirre), Ramos still remains a mystery for me, and thus I turn to you.
The man in question is Inocencio Ramos. Inhabitant of Sayula, Jalisco. I have struggled to find his birth certificate in order to discover who his parents were.
What I know:
His wedding certificate dated August 24, 1885 with Eligia Alvarez (Padilla). It says he is the legitimate son of Maria Merced Ramos and an unknown father. It says he is 22, putting his birth year in 1862-63. It says Eligia (23) is older than him.

Eligia’s baptismal certificate has her being born in December 1862. Inocencio must have been born afterwards.
Link: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-G28W-K?i=36&cc=1874591&cat…
Here is where it gets tricky. As follows are the birth certificates of Inocencio and Eligia’s children. They are important mainly because I want to know who Inocencio’s father was.
Margarita Ramos (1887). Paternal grandparents: Maria Ramos & unknown.

As you can guess I am confused as to who the grandfather could be. Why was Maria’s last name Ramos before the spouse was known? Could it be that Francisco and Jose Maria are brothers? Are one of them the father? I would appreciate any help in this regard. Maybe a search for Inocencio with a different last name to a mother Maria Merced of a different last name around 1863
.
Thank you!

Dos vezes e tratado de buscar mis antepasados mas alla de 1862, pero cada vez no puedo. Aunque mis otros apellidos an sido mas facil (Ruiz Velasco, Aguirre y Aguirre), me atoro siempre con Ramos, y por eso les pido ayuda.
El hombre que me confunde es Inocencio Ramos, originario y vecino de Sayula, Jalisco. E tratado (sin logro) buscar su registro de bautismo o nacimiento civil.
Lo que se:
Su registro de matrimonio en el 24 de Agosto, 1885 con Eligia Alvarez (Padilla). Dice que es hijo legitimo de Maria Merced Ramos y de padre desconocido. Dice q tiene 22 anos de edad. Eso pondria su nacimiento en 1862-63. Dice que Eligia (23) es mayor que el.
Link: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-GL3G-B?i=685&cc=1874591&ca…
EL registro de bautismo de Eligia la tiene nacida el Diciembre 1862. Ynocencio seria nacido despues.
Link: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-G28W-K?i=36&cc=1874591&cat…
Aqui es donde se pone complicado. Siguen los registros bautismales de sus hijos. Son importantes por su referncia a los abuelos paternos.

Como pueden observar estoy confundido a quien podria ser el abuelo. Porque la madre se conocia como Ramos en su registro de bodas pero sin saber el padre? Podrian ser Francisoc y Jose Maria hermanos? O uno de ellos el padre? Aprecio cual quier ayuda en esto. Tal vez, una busca por Inocencio bajo otro apellido con una madre Maria Merced de otro apellido naciod en 1863 seria bueno.
Perdonen la ortografia. Muchas gracias!

BMF,
Ese registro es diferente a el registro que tengo para la boda el 24 de Agosto de 1885?
Lin: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-GL3G-B?i=685&cc=1874591&ca…
Y si es diferente el registro, me puedes dar el link para que pueda buscar en el Registro Civil?
Gracias,

thats too many different names for it not to be done on purpose. whenever i see that its usually to cover up an ilegitimate baby. i know it says on the marriage hijo legitimo of Maria Merced Ramos but i think the record is trying to cover up something. my guess is that maria Merced Ramos is the origin of the Ramos line. orozco may be another name she uses maybe her mom, but i think inocencio is probly ilegitimate and if his parents weren't married, it's going to be hard to go back any further. i'll look to see if i can find any civil records that will help.

Danny,
Thanks, I appreciate the help. That is what one of the theories I have considered. I tried to look up what was going on in Jalisco in 1862 and I found the French Conflict was going on, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was any looting and raping going on by both sides. It could also have been just a normal illegitimate child.
His death record which I didn't include has Inocencio listed as "natural" so I figured that he was illegitimate.
In any case, my main interest is the Ramos name. So if you can find Maria Merced Ramos and her Ramos parents that would be great! I tried doing this too but no luck.
Best,
Rafa

yeah i just looked at the death record it says he was 52 and that he died of a liver abscess and was hijo natural de Merced Ramos, so that does mean he's illegitimate. the guy reporting his death is francisco Ramos age 51 so that may be a brother of inocencio. you still may be able to trace Merced Ramos if you can find a birth record for inocencio and maybe francisco, it should at least give Merced Ramos's parents. Do you know if he had any brother or sisters

Sorry I do not know if he had any brothers or sisters.
I am curious to know who Francisco Ramos is in relation to Inocencio. I did a quick search for Franciscos born in Sayula between 1862 and 1870 and found three, none of which were to a Maria Merced (some in 1868 to Maria Ramos but that would make them too old).
In any case if Maria Merced was indeed a Ramos (for her to be Francisco's mother and thus Francisco be a brother as opposed to a cousin) that would mean Francisco would also be illegitimate and within 1 year of Inocencio which although plausible, I would think with the culture then she would not be likely to do that...but then again who knows?
My next search will be in the 1930 Mexico records that has Ruperto Ramos in it. I will see if he is living with anyone else (aside from children) or if he made the trip to Guadalajara alone.
-----------------------------------------------
Edit:
He made the trip with a Francisco Ramos who was 30 at the time (Ruperto was 38)

Rafa,
I have seen several instances where someone had multiple children all listed as hijos naturales. So, it happens quite a lot.

Hi Rafa,
I agree with Danny, I've seen numerous cases where a couple were living together for years and had several children without ever having been married. I've also seen cases where a couple married eventually after having lived together and having several illegitimate children. And, I've even seen cases where a couple weren't living together but carried on a long term affair and had 5 children together before ever getting married.

Hi Rafa,
I took a look at your Maria Merced Ramos. She does appear to be a Ramos and the origin of the Ramos line like Danny stated. She also appears to be an Orozco and appears to have had several children with an unknown man. Like was said before, I've seen this many times, but, I'm never quite sure what the reason is. I found a record for these three children, Ausencia Ramos, Esteban Ramos, and, Espiridion Ramos who are siblings and with near certainty siblings to your Inocencio Ramos. As you can see all three are the natural born (illegitimate) children of Maria Merced Ramos and an unknown man. There are probably several more children that can be found with a little more searching. So, Maria Merced Ramos was having children at least for a period of ten years beginning around 1853. The last record she is listed as Mercedes Ramos, so her baptismal name is probably Maria de las Mercedes if you can find the record. The grandparents are listed as Jose Ramos and Clara Martinez for

Thank you so much!
This might be the breakthrough I have been looking for.
I want to go ahead right away and say this is her. But I will double and triple verify the info before adding it in.
Thank you so much guys. If I can be helpful in your searches just let me know, but I have a feeling I can't be of much help yet given my relatively amateur experience.

i agree with Chris, I would say this is 100% your Merced Ramos and that Jose Ramos and Clara orosco are 100% the grandparents of Inocencio Ramos. i also think it's possible that the name of one of the grandparents on Inocencio's children maybe right, which would mean probly that Merced Ramos was related to her unknown boyfriend which might be why they werent married.

Thanks guys,
I was able to find the marriage registration for Jose Atenogenes Ramos and Maria Patricia dated Jun. 20, 1774.
Here he is simply referred to as Jose Ramos, Indian... the rest of the stuff I can't decipher...and then "h.l." legitimate son of...(senor?)......Ramos and Nicolasa Juana; married to Maria Patricia, Indian...again some stuff I don't know what it means..."h.l." of ......Pablo, deceased, and Maria Bartola.

Rafa,
i looked at it and it says on the side Jose Ramos Yndio de San Mateo y Maria Patricia de Advento? maybe? it's kind of hard to read that abbreviation and i cant make all of it out and the same word is in the body of the record but its where they live, probly a ranch name, it might actually say Rancho de San Mateo and Rancho de Advento or whatever that word is, but the first word on both looks like it starts with an N. the middle part starts "en veinte de junio de mil setecientos setenta y cuatro años: se casaron y velaron "infacie ecclesiae" Jose Ramos Yndio de ___ de San Mateo hijo legitimo de Sebastian Ramos defunto y Nicolasa Juana y Maria Patricia Yndia de ____ de Advento? hija legitima de Sebastian Pablo defunto y de Maria Bartola... Fueron testigos Domingo Luis y Sebastian Damian y Padrinos Pedro Manuel y Maria Micaela y lo firme como parroco.
