Charlotte,
The Azores government maintains a website with online documents, including passports out of the Azores, birth, death, and marriage records. You will see it referred to as the CCA or Centro de Conhecimento dos Acores. here is the link. http://pg.azores.gov.pt/drac/cca/ig/ In the passportes section, in Ponta Delgada, for years 1875-1883 on page # 0066 on line 365, I found Jose Tavares Ferreira on the right side it shows Maria Augusta. It looks like him. here is the link to that page: http://pg.azores.gov.pt/drac/cca/biblioteca_digital/PPDL1875-1883/PPDL1875-1883_item1/P67.html Let me know if it doesn't come up.
