I'm trying to figure something out here, but the dates aren't adding up. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-SAOJOSE-B-1890-1894/SMG-PD-SAOJOSE-B-1890-1894_item1/P61.html
This is the baptism record for my great-grandfather, Jacinto Cabral. From what I understand of it, his father was already dead when he was born, and Jacinto was born on the 25th of the "last September". This baptism took place at the beginning of October 1890, so does the "last September" mean the previous month (September 1890), or of the previous year (September 1889)? This is important because I also found the baptism record for his father (the one who was already dead when Jacinto was born). To make it extra confusing, he's also named Jacinto Cabral. My family always told a story of him dying at sea off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, being swept off a ship. Now logic would dictate that the elder Jacinto would have died some time after the conception of his son, but before the birth. So basically anywhere from January to September 1890. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-SAOJOSE-B-1852-1855/SMG-PD-SAOJOSE-B-1852-1855_item1/P13.html This is the baptism record for the father. From what I can see in the margin notes, he died 26 May 1889. If the conception occurred in that same month, the latest that his son would have been born is February 1890. So does this mean "the last September" referred to in the younger Jacinto's baptism record is September 1889? Because that way the dates would make sense...
