Correct her husband’s name to Aaron James Lopez.
Manuel was the son of José Aldorino and María Encarnación Alman. Rosa was the daughter of Manuel Rodríguez and María Avellano.
Mayor Aldorino’s patrilineal ancestry can be traced back to her sixth great-grandfather, Giovanni Battista Arduino, of Loano, Savona, Italy.
She also has distant French (away from Gibraltarian) ancestry. But, correct Portuguese as part of Gibraltarian ancestry.

As this is the last addition of all Gibraltarian ancestors, you may now remove “possibly other”.
Mary was born María Beryaque, but was later renamed Mary Berllaque. She was the daughter of Juan Beryaque and Joaquina Barranco Díaz, who was Spanish, from Benalauría, Málaga.
Mayor Aldorino’s matrilineal ancestry can be traced back to her third great-grandmother, María Díaz.

I have verified her Portuguese ancestry. Also, add Valencian as part of her Spanish ancestry.
I have traced Manuel and Rosa. But, I will have to expand their ancestries first before commenting the additions.
Giuseppa also had Irish and Italian ancestries.

Remarks: Liguria -> Ligurian
Lombardy -> Lombard
Kaiane also has Catalan (also part of Gibraltarian, but away from Spanish) and small amount of Slovenian (or perhaps Croatian or Serbian through Gelitich, originally spelled Jeličić; see the remarks below and let’s discuss about this) ancestries. Also, add Andalusian as part of her Spanish ancestry. No Portuguese ancestry so far unless I can break the brick wall for Aldorino, Rodríguez, and Berllaque lines.
Remarks: 1. Piedmont -> Piedmontese
Trieste (close to Venice) -> Venetian
2. I cannot clearly trace whether the surname Jeličić is of Croatian or Serbian origin. But, the Jeličić family lived in Trieste in Italy near the Slovenian border before one of their family members, Matteo Gelitich (Slovenian, Croatian, and Serbian: Matej Jeličić; Spanish: Matías Gelitich; Latin: Mathias Gelitich), migrated to Gibraltar in the early 19th century. Also, I am not sure if this South Slavic ancestry is part of Gibraltarian ancestry. For reference, see the genealogy of Elliott Victory: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LY2T-2KX
Correction on the third source: It should be marriage record.
