translation question


By mazochoa - Posted on 22 October 2011

In reading the marriage certificate of Basilio Baldes y Manuela Gomes I see that it reads " Bacilio Baldes espanol originario y vecino de Santa Maria, hijo lejitimo de Luis Baldes y de Anna Lopes y a Manuela Gomes Casta??? origenaria y vecina de esta villa, hija de "padres no conocidos".

First what is Casta? her name? a label/class? and also does "padres no conocidos" mean that her parents had expired, she was an orphan? or they just were not present?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Best regards,
