The 2nd marriage on the page #1047, is what I am looking at, right? The groom is the son of Antonio Josephs and Mary Antonio. So over there it would be Antonio Jose and Maria Antonio. More likely she is Maria _______. It's 1868 and in that time period, women did not have surnames, so the groom may be taking his best guess as to what her "maiden name" may be. I've seen Antonio as a surname here or there.
Joaquim as a surname does happen, but it's kinda like seeing the surname Antonio. Both are given names and for some reason, the family tacked on that given name as a surname to differentiate themselves.
