Herb,
Just a hunch, but maybe you haven't spanned out enough years after birth. I suppose some might consider 2 or 3 years still fits your description. How many years past the birth have you checked in Ponta Delgada freguesias?
And I suppose it's far less likely, but is there some chance you might need to check other major locations like Ribeira Grande or Vila Franca? Are the padrinhos from some other location? If so, did you check there?

--Family tradition says that my great grandmother died giving birth or died shortly after giving birth to my gg gandafather. He was born on 22 Nov 1883 in Sao Pedro Ponta Delgada. The father was incognito.She would have been 21 when she gave birth. Her name was Maria dos Santos of Agua de Pau born 27 May 1862, daughter of Manuel dos Santos and Ricarda do Espirito Santo. They were married 11 May 1836.I have looked for many years for Maria dos Santos obituary. Because her son was born in Sao Pedro I searched there first, and all of the surrounding parishes of Sao Sebastiao and Sao Jose, Rosto do Cao etc. I also checked her village of Agua de Pau. I haven't been able to find it and not sure I ever will. Please let me know if you should come across this record or if you are related to these families?thanksHerb
