I have been researching my family from Zacatecas. My great grandfather was Manuel de la Torre (1810) married Maria Altagracia Mejia(1815) on Jan. 1833, in Tepetongo. Their children Casimiro de la Torre(1844) and my grandfather Nicolas de la Torre (1846) married Mariana Sanchez(1850) married on April 1875. My grandmother Mariana 's parents were Cornelio Sanchez (1820) and Maria Refugio Ramirez(1822)
I cannot find Manuel de la Torre's parents. I have reached a roadblock. If anyone has info I would appreciate it.

Have you tried ordering the marriage film 0445236 (1816-1849)for 30 JAN 1833 and looking to see if their parents are listed there?
Also have you ordered the film 0445159 (1831-1842) for their children's baptisimals and looked to see if their grandparents are listed there? Sometimes one child's record doesn't show them while another one does. i.e. Maria Ysavel de la Torre (09 JUN 1841) or Jose Leandro de la Torre (28 FEB 1839).
In addition, if you know them, a sibling's marriage record of either Manuel or Maria and/or their sibling's children's baptisimal records will reveal the same information that you seek.
Good luck in your quest and adventure!
