I see a problem in that on a second marriage record it will usually state the name of the first spouse. The record on the marriage of Perpetua Rosa and Manuel de Sousa Machado there is no indication of it being a second marriage.

There is a bit of confusion about the generations here but I believe I am on the right track. My GGGrandfather Christiano Machado Pereira married twice - 2 sisters Victorina Rosa and Perpetua Rosa (b 1825 and 1828). The parents of the two sisters were Manuel de Sousa Machado and Vitorina de Jesus as per the marriage records. I have been searching for the marriage of Manuel and Victorina (the elder) prior to 1825 when Victorina (the younger) was born. and that's when I came across the marriage of Perpetua Rosa and Manuel de Sousa Machado in 1816 - as per the link. I figured this is too much of a co-incidence and now believe that GGGGrandfather Manuel de Sousa Machado also married two sisters Perpetua Rosa and Victorina Rosa. Those female names are not all that common in the records. I haven't found the marriage (2nd marriage) of Manuel and Victorina (1) as yet but the same set of parents would confirm that they are also sisters. Does that make sense?? It's very exciting. thank you to Pam too. Diane Donnon South Australia -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
