Eric, I'm answering you in both places!

try looking at the baptisms right before her (Antonia's) marriage.
Sometimes the baptism isn't found by the Priest (forgot to enter it in the
book!) and the woman getting married has to be rebaptised right before her
marriage. This happened in my greatgrandmom's case. In order to be married
in the Catholic Church you had to be baptised and somehow recording her
baptism may have been missed.
