Thank you Margaret. I did find her first marriage in São Sebastião: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-SAOSEBASTIAO-C-1890-1899/SMG-PD-SAOSEBASTIAO-C-1890-1899_item1/P19.html. Her age is 17 years in May 1890 which is consistent with what I have for her birth in Oct 1872 and that would make her age 32 years for the second marriage in Jan 1905. As the priest stated in her second marriage, her name in this first marriage is Rosa dos Anjos. Her parents are Manuel Bernardo Teixeira and Emilia Rosa from Agua Retorta in both records. The priest simply made a mistake on her age in the second marriage. I did find the baptism for the groom in São Pedro and his age is correct--he was in 11 years younger than his bride. Maybe she looked young even though she had 9 children at that point (only 4 survived). She had 9 more with this second husband, 5 of which survived.
Do you know if it was common to change the religious or devotional names as she apparently did?
