Hi Margaret
I was looking at this Obit : http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-PORTOFORMOSO-O-1843-1858/SMG-RG-PORTOFORMOSO-O-1843-1858_item1/P12.html Left side bottom entry. Did I misread the age of Luisa? I see 33 years old. If the marriage you provided is the correct one then I misjudged their ages.

They were married Feb 15 1816. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-PORTOFORMOSO-C-1737-1820/SMG-RG-PORTOFORMOSO-C-1737-1820_item1/P227.html Margaret On Mon, Apr 30, 2018 at 9:53 AM, Richard Francis Pimentel <rfrancispimen...@comcast.net> wrote: Hi, I am trying to close up a confusing remarriage in Santissimo Salvador where Francisco de Pimentel widower of Luzia do Espirito Santo marries Antonia de Jesus widow of Francisco de Pimentel. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-RIBEIRINHA-C-1836-1860/SMG-RG-RIBEIRINHA-C-1836-1860_item1/P66.html Left side. I have found the Obito of Luzia do Espirito Santo here in Porto Formoso: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-PORTOFORMOSO-O-1843-1858/SMG-RG-PORTOFORMOSO-O-1843-1858_item1/P12.html Left side bottom entry. Not much information except she was 33 years old more or less. The marriage records for the years 1821 to 1843 as are the Baptismal records for 1817 to 1840 are missing so I cannot find the marriage to Francisco de Pimentel or look for any children prior to 1840. I did look at the Baptismal records from 1808 to 1813 and found only one Luiza baptized: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-PORTOFORMOSO-B-1800-1816/SMG-RG-PORTOFORMOSO-B-1800-1816_item1/P135.html upper right entry. Two things: the spelling of the name Luzia (used on Obito) compared to Luiza (use on baptismal and the remarriage) are two different names. If the marriage record were found it would clear up that question but I can only assume that: this is the wrong baptism or the name was changed at marriage. Perhaps the priest writing the Obito was hard of hearing. The age at death of 33 years old would mean she was born around 17 Nov 1811 the baptism record I found was born on 14 Feb 1813. I can accept the difference of age as reasonable being off by 14 months. I am leaning that the baptism record I found is the right one any opinions on this.
