I am in the process of researching baptism records on Ancestry from the Asuncion de Maria Catholic church in Aguascalientes.
The baptism records will include the name of the child, its parents, and its padrinos or godparents; after 1800, grandparents' names are included in most parishes. Previous to 1821 (independence), the "casta" or ethnicity of the child & parents are also included.
The signature on the bottom right of each entry is usually that of the cleric who performed to baptism, or of the "Notario Publico" ("Notary Public"), or of the "Notario Nombrado" ("interim notary"). In this case, it is of Bachiller Francisco Narvaez, who was given permission by the parish priest, Doctor Don Vicente Antonio Flores Alatorre, to baptize the children. His signature appears on the bottom left of each entry.

Thanks so much Manny! I find that the term "bachiller" generally translates as a person with a degree of "bachelor", but it can also have the honorific title of "secular priest". I assume that this is the meaning used in the baptism record. Does this title also imply that Senor Narvaez may have been some sort of minor governmental official? Also, do you happen to have any historical or genealogical information regarding Senor Narvaez? Thanks again.

He's just a priest. He's almost certainly connected to this Narvaez family of Aguascalientes and Jalisco: https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Narváez-Family-Tree-41
Buscando mapas antiguos de Aguascalientes, encontré a este mapa que demarca un rancho en el municipio de Calvillo en Aguascalientes.
I was in Teocaltiche, Jalisco last month for Las Fiestas and I fell in love with the spirit of people. It was magical. The festivities were awesome and of course "la Catedral" was AMAZING.
I have been stuck for years on finding the parents of my 4th great grandfather Jose Ysidro Hurtado.
What a great story. Congrats!!!
That is why..We love genealogy...sometimes there is some luck.
