Sam, I don't know why it reads "sem impedimento" but then goes on below to say it's the 4th degree of consanguinity (3rd cousins by blood).
The occupation of the groom's father is the same of the groom. It says he is native and baptized of the referenced freguesia. I think the mother of groom's occupation says occupation "governo" something. Governs the household, I think, so she's a housewife. I think it says "desta" for "in this" freguesia of Santa Barbara. Father of the bride: Campaneo. Farmer or small farmer as you call it. Mother of the bride: occupation governo sua casa, or governs the house (housewife), but maybe if you're a kid and don't behave, maybe she will get in your face! (LOL) Witnesses: Bettencourt is a (small) farmer and married, living in the referenced place of Feteira. The witness, Andrade is also married. I think it says he is the treasurer of the church. Sam, you did extract all the genealogy info. Now, you get to wait for Joao Ventura to put the dispensations online and hope that this one is there. I don't think all 100% of dispensations still exist to this day.
