Robin Jose da Rocha da Borba and Custodia Candida were married March 21, 1849. He is the son of Francisco da Rocha da Borba and Anna Theodoro. She is the daughter of Joaquim Ferreira and Maria Candida.
I'm missing something. How can Joao da Rocha Borba and his sister Matilde Candida be the children o Jose da Rocha Borba if he was married in 1849. The marriage record didn't say he was a widow, at least I don't think it did. By the way Candida is not a place, it's a name. Pretty common in Terceira I think. If in your research you connect with a Manoel da Rocha da Borba married to (1) Maria do Rosario m. 1724 and (2) Maria Antonia m 1725 let me know. Manoel is my husband's G+grandfather. He is also from Sao Bartolomeu.

Here's the baptism for Jose' son (also of the same name) where it says the father is already deceased: Jose, son of Jose da Rocha de Borba and (his wife) Custodia Candida, from the Parish of Sao Bartolomeu dos Regatos of Ilha Terceira (Terceira Island), born in February 10, 1850, he was baptized at home because of life threatening, by me the Vicar bellow mentioned (or signed) on the 21st of the same month and year. He was brought to the Church where I applied all the rituals of the church and the saint oil (sacred oil) and witnessed Joao da Rocha de Borba, and his sister Matilde Candida, son and daughter of Jose da Rocha de Borba already deceased, all resident in this same Parish. I wrote and signed this record Vicar Joao Coelho da Mae de Deus I've gone thru the CCA for Sao Bartholomeu from 1849 to 1850 to no avail. Wouldn't it be there if the father died prior to the birth of his son? I'm not sure what direction to go in now. I don't have the parent's wedding information yet as I'm not quite sure a date period to search nor have I found the brother and sister of Jose as listed above: Joao da Rocha de Borba and his sister Matilde Candida (again have no idea of a date period to search for these two children's baptism's). CANDIDA - I'm curious if anyone knows of the area of Candida in Terceira? Is there a relation between the name of Matilde Candida and Custodia Candida and the area both of the same name? "One piece of the puzzle at a time."
