Help regarding Bernabe Gonzalez (de la Cruz Bermejo?) and Salvadora Duran form Nochistlan, Zac m. 1692

Hello Everyone!

I have encountered a brick wall once again regarding my 8th-great-grandparents Bernabe Gonzalez and Salvadora Duran, but as I have gone more in depth in my research I have found many clues that have helped me get around it. I hope you guys can help me put the clues together and help break the brick wall.

Bernabe Gonzalez married Salvadora Duran on Jan 20, 1692 in Nochistlan,Zac,Mex.
I have found five children:

-Maria Gonzalez Christening Date: 08 Jan 1695 Nochisltan,Zac
-Juana Gonzalez Christening Date: 16 May 1698 Nochistlan,Zac
-Andres Gonzalez Christening Date: 23 Jan 1702 Nochistlan,Zac
-Ju. Anselmo Gonsales Christening Date: 19 Apr 1711 Nochistlan,Zac
-Phelipa De Santiago Gonsales Christening Date: 11 May 1713 Nochistlan,Zac (My 7th-great-grandmother) married Jose Antonio Ruiz Cortez from Valladolid (Morelia, Michoacan)on 09 Oct 1731 in Nochistlan,Zac.

I looked over all the baptism documents of their children hoping to find clues, which I think I succeeded. On Maria Gonzalez' babtism, her padrinos are Jacinto Ramírez de Rosales and Margarita Gonzalez. Then, on Ju. Anselmo Gonzalez' baptism, her padrinos are Cristobal Gonzalez and Josepha de Venavides. It seems to me that Bernabe Gonzalez is from the "de la Cruz Bermejo" family since Margarita Gonzalez and possibly Cristobal Gonzalez are Tomas Cruz and Catharina de Sandoval's children. I am only doubting Cristobal Gonzalez since the son of Tomas Cruz, Cristobal Cruz (Gonzalez) married Maria De La Rosa Duran, unless Josepha de Venavides was his first or second wife.

Anselmo's Baptism:

Maria's Baptism:

Bernabe Gonzalez and Salvadora Duran's marriage godparents are listed as Gregorio Ramirez de Rosales and Antonia de la Cruz, who is also daughter of Tomas Cruz and Catharina de Sandoval.

Now my question is whether Bernabe Gonzalez is also a son of Tomas Cruz, or nephew, since the padrinos of his children and his own marriage seem to be Tomas' children and therefore from the "de la Cruz Bermejo" family. Tomas Cruz' children are Juan Cruz,Margarita De La Cruz Gonzalez Bermejo,Visente Cruz and Antonia De La Cruz, but I did not find any Bernabe, unless he is their cousin. I am also wondering who Salvadora Duran's parents are. I already tried looking for their marriage in Informacion matrimonial but the year range is missing.

I would greatly appreciate your help!!

Thank you!
