NAVARRO family 1910 Guadalajara, Jalisco

QUERY - NAVARRO

NAVARRO is my single biggest (and seemingly) unsurmountable "brick wall" line (with one secondary known line: Padilla). I've posted an overview of my Navarro grandfather in my ancestry in my folder here: http://www.nuestrosranchos.com/en/CindyF

Here are the details for this line:
My grandfather Jose Sarabia* Navarro, Jr. was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco probably between 1909-1910. At his February, 1935 marriage he gives his age as 25 at last birthday. In September, 1941 on his daughter's birth certificate he is listed as 31 years old. He gives his parents names as Jose Navarro and Maria Luisa Padilla both born in Jalisco, Mexico per his marriage record. On the 1941 birth certificate, it says he had lived in California for 20 years.

*The "Sarabia" in his name only appears on daughter Carmen's birth certificate and divorce papers (he has an aka on divorce papers of Joe Sarabia Navarro).

I have only one photo of my grandfather --his 1935 marriage portrait with my nana. Unfortunately, I don't know if he had any siblings, nor do I know anything else about his origins or his family. The family story is that he abandoned my nana and his children after my mom mom was born in 1941, and returned to Mexico. (I've never found him on a Federal Census either. However, he does show up in a couple of city directories.)

I spent a couple of hours last night and the better part of today wading through civil registration films at Family Search and have not yet found Jose.

So, if you know anything about this individual or family, I'd appreciate and info or leads. I'm not done going through the films, but I'm going to give my eyes a break and spend some time researching "breaking thru brick walls" to see if I can get any ideas of how to proceed. By the way the overview document I uploaded also lists my current sketchy research plan.

Thanks in advance for your insights!
