Yes George, I believe Shirley looked in all three parishes. I have Manuel de Paiva married to Maria Moniz Pimentel, same period and it is missing also. I think there are at least 6 marriages missing in Ponta Garca. You can track them by baptisms, and then look for marriages and they are not there. I think Shirley and Cheri also have a Manuel Furtado missing, this one from Vila Franca marriage. I noticed that RR and Canto made references to records that longer exist. They probably crumbled or washed out.
