This looks like a strong possibility of being the correct birth record. If you have not already done so I would go forward two years to make sure there is not another Maria close to the birth date of Oct 26 1830. But remember that date is based on the death an very well may be off by a year. I would also check the Obits to make sure Maria did not die because according to the record you found she was baptized at home because they thought she would not live.
It reads Maria daughter of Andre Rodrigues and his wife Maria Isabel. Natives of the parish of NS. Angustias, paternal grandparents Manuel Rodrigues and Jancia Joaquina, maternal grandparents Jose Francisco and Francisca Thomasia Born 25 Oct 1830 and baptized at home because of danger of death by the midwife Ignacia Resendes (?) God parents are Jose Francisco and Francisco Thomasia.

The subject of the mystery was Maria Isabel Rodrigues. I posted for help back then: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/azores/TAUQcfAZdrg/discussion <https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwiGuYP7kf_ZAhWEyIMKHex7AJoQFggpMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgroups.google.com%2Fd%2Ftopic%2Fazores%2FTAUQcfAZdrg&usg=AOvVaw3Fd4ZlYppEikNhfL8wbuYR> I couldn't find my original post. For the past almost five years I've been searching. I can't mentally move forward with the rest of my tree until I resolve this mystery. Tonight, I found a baptismal record that might be the link. I ask for the groups help in translating it. Record weblink: 0008 <http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FAL-HT-ANGUSTIAS-B-1830-1835/FAL-HT-ANGUSTIAS-B-1830-1835_item1/P8.html> . Hopefully, this is the one. I have a photo of the ancestor. Written on the back was the name Mary Isabel Rodrigues Silva Nichols. On her death certificate it states she was 70 years and 9 days old when she died Nov 4, 1901. The puts her birth October 26, 1831. I believe the record I've found is from 1830 but the Month and day are correct. I'd like to hear what others think if this is the correct baptismal record. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0wsL1ZsjpNc/WrM38mAfbrI/AAAAAAAAAA4/uDl-9XJq7EcRxoIRqM8Le66BXmlKrlEnwCLcBGAs/s1600/FAL-HT-ANGUSTIAS-B-1830-1835_0008.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-c9c1p6kUMXc/WrM9023PKJI/AAAAAAAAABI/vShxjFnE6s0UkGvyjtxbg_OJMrlbcM-gQCLcBGAs/s1600/img005%2Bcopy.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NI8JaZ-6TP0/WrM-relIN9I/AAAAAAAAABY/otWBUcEvnx0SU0okGdT_eYkV0DdNQVovgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_2174%2Bcopy.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eAv2S2tS-MY/WrM-EeJjCFI/AAAAAAAAABM/lU2FR4UhXOYO05apBHxRIAoobBppQgl1wCLcBGAs/s1600/info%2Bfor%2Bimg002%2Bcopy.jpg> Thank you, John Machado Castro Valley, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
