Lost ancestor
Hello everyone! I have a question about an ancestor I can't seem to find.
There is this baptism record: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939J-D8BH-P?from=lynx1UIV8&treeref=G7TV-Z7H&i=143 (last of the left page) where two of my ancestors have a child. I don't quite understand the name, but I think it's "J. Abraham". The problem is that it's the only record I have: no marriage, no death record, nothing. He was born in 1877 in Nochistlán, and the burial records from 1866-1879 are missing, so he might have died very young. However, is there any other possibility, such as maybe he became a priest or something? I have to say, I haven't yet been exhaustive with the death records, since they are a ton. I was wondering, if he became a priest, is there any specific record where I could find about it?
There is also the sort of census the church has from 1899, but the whole family is missing, which also has me wondering and keeps me from seeing if he's still alive by then. All of their children were born in Los González; however, the document with información matrimonial from my direct ancestor says she was from Las Trojes. Anyhow, I checked both towns, as well as all of the towns that surround them, and they're simply not there. I don't think they moved, though, since they didn't appear to have too much money, and just a year after they have another kid in Las Trojes. I am quite puzzled here.
