Kevin, If you think they married in New Bedford, you need to check St. John the Baptist church for their marriage. Ask if they will photocopy the entry out of the book and if not, ask if they will type up everything verbatim (even if it's in Latin) for you. There's a period of time where they wrote down the freguesia (village) from where the newlywed came. If they mail you the paper certificate, it just says the bride married the groom on this date by the priest with X & Y as witnesses. If it's not at St. John's try Mt. Carmel (or is it Our Lady of Carmel?)
