You're not alone! I looked at the handwriting for a long time, but couldn't figure it all out.

While the typeset portion of the document is in Spanish, it may be that some Galician, or at least Galician/Portugues influence, appears in the handwritten portion, since A Coruña (both the name of a province of Spain and a city within it) is in Galicia.
For example, your great-grandmother's maternal surname, Pereira, is Galician/Portuguese. (Her paternal surname looks like Husquera to me, and her given name looks like Juana.)
And your great-grandmother was married to Juan Fernandes (also Galician/Portuguese).

I suggest that you seek out a translation firm located in Ferrol for help. Surely you'll find someone familiar with birth records that can decipher the handwriting.

The Nieto section (which should have been changed to Nieta, since José and Josefa had a baby girl) contains the names you're interested in, of course.
