Betty: There were four parishes in Santa Maria in the 1850's. The surname Resendes is common in Santa Bárbara Parish, as well as possibly in the other three parishes as well. I can tell you there was not a Manoel born in Santa Bárbara on the date you have listed (However there is a Manoel born to José de Resendes & Francisca Jacintha de Moura on 4 March 1950).
Since the records for all parishes of Santa Maria are now online, your Manoel should be relatively easy to find.
