The Catholic Chruch doens't make this easy. I checked the LDS library card catalog for resources they have filmed for Pima County, Arizona. I'm not seeing anything for Church records, but there may be some others that can help you, ie Land records. I googled for the Archdiocese that includes churches on Pima County. The site states they don't offer genealogical research. It appears the Diocese of Tuscon (part of the Archdiocese of Phoenix) doesn't either, however I would contact the Archivist there and ask if they can give you hand in localizing which church was in existence in 1895 in the area your ancestors were from in Pima County. In this case, follow Conception's family, chances are they were married in the location she was living in. You have a good lead with the location in the 1900 census and can narrow the marriage time frame by the birth date of Antoine in 1897. He appears to be the first born child, therefore I would guestimate the were married in 1896-97. Getting all the bap records for all the children might have other clues to more Noriega (either parents or siblings) that you can connect to Jesus. More info on his family will help with tracing his family in Mexico. It's a challenge, but I think a doable one. Good luck!
