Just know that Lajes could mean Lajes itself or somewhere in the council (county) of Lajes.
And just because Manuel was accurate on his birth does not mean that Lucinda was. Luckily, the name Lucinda is no where near as popular as Manuel. So look at every Lucinda for a dad named João Rodrigues and a mom named Luisa (Luiza) Rosa. You might have to look a couple of years on either side of your April 1866 date.
