Thanks everyone, I appreciate your help especially with the Elizabeth - Isabel thing! Rich - I got the info on their marriage from Family Search, Boston Marriage Index. It doesn't list the church, just who married them. It looks like Rev. ??? Walker Jackson. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-65DX-97?i=442&cc=1469062 Jeremy - I don't think that is the same person. My Manuel would have been about 63 years old in 1905 when this Manuel died. Also, I'm not sure of this, but speculate that Manuel and Maria Margarida would have been living near Coarsegold, California by 1900 or so. Their daughter was married in California in 1900, and gave birth to my grandmother in 1901.
thanks again!
