Karen, It appears to me that it reads: On the 19 day of the month of January in the year of 1880 in this parochial church of Nossa Senora dos Anjos de Agua de Pau Council of Villa da Lagoa diocese of Angra, I solemnly baptized an individual of the feminine sex of the name of Guillermina, who was born in this parish at 6 hours of the morning of the twenty third day of December last. Legitimate daughter of Manoel de Costa Branco, shoemaker and Maria de Luz whose occupation is domestic, natives of this same parish (I'm confused about this next part. It looks like it is saying they are natives and residents of this parish and then goes on to say they will be going to the new parish. Really not clear on this part, sorry.) Paternal granddaughter of Jose de Costa Branco and Maria de Luz and maternal of Francisco do Rego Cabral and Justina de Jesus. Godparents are Francisco Tavares Branco and Maria do Espirito Santo. Paternal uncle of the baptized. (after that it's the usual about them all being residents and agreeing and signing, etc.)
The little side note on the first page says she married Virgino de Medeiros at Agua de Pau, on the 27 of September 1905 and goes on to say something about a couple of other dates. This, of course, makes no sense if she was born in 1800 so, I must be reading something wrong here. Perhaps someone who reads these records better than I can help you out here as well as double check my translation as I certainly am not proficient at this translating stuff.
