It is not certain that she is who married Josef Antonio Romo de Vivar because the marriage information only records that he married "María" de Anza. Her full sister's name was María Gertrudis and, thus, either of them could be the María married to Romo de Vivar. However, there is some indication that María Gertrudis may have been married to Ignacio Diaz del Carpio, and it is probable that María Manuela was Romo de Vivar's wife.   Event Relationship [6 Records] Event ID: 1202 Relationship: Godmother Event Date: 12/31/1749       Event ID: 3698 Relationship: Godmother Event Date: 09/07/1751       Event ID: 3703 Relationship: Wife Event Date: 04/13/1734       Event ID: 7580 Relationship: Godmother Event Date: 11/16/1745       Event ID: 7659 Relationship: Godmother Event Date: 09/13/1784       Event ID: 9093 Relationship: Godmother Event Date: 08/18/1751
