Hello fellow sleuths, I am searching for the marriage record of Manuel (Faria) Cabral & Maria de Oliveira in Rabo de Peixe, Ribeira Grande, São Miguel. Here they are mentioned in Joseph de Faria & Barbara Tavares’ marriage on 20 Feb 1737 (Manuel Faria & Maria de Oliveira are the parents of Joseph de Faria) — left side. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-C-1700-1759/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-C-1700-1759_item1/P200.html
Well, I’ve poured through the marriage records for Rabo de Peixe and can’t find them there or in many of the surrounding parishes (that does not mean that the record is not there). Could something else be written in this document that might lead me to another parish? I also have them as a couple in Rabo de Peixe in their daughter, Maria’s marriage to Tome Alvarez in Rabo de Peixie, 19 Feb 1726 right (right side). http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-C-1700-1759/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-C-1700-1759_item1/P117.html I have searched for the births of these children, Joseph de Faria and Maria Cabral, and have not found them in Rabo de Peixe or surrounding parishes. I found Manuel Cabral’s death record in Rabo de Peixe: 18 Sep 1755; +/- 70 yrs old (right side) http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-O-1745-1758/SMG-RG-RABODEPEIXE-O-1745-1758_item1/P89.html Yes, the above leads me to a birth of a Manuel (11 Dec 1680), but I cannot go there without any other proof. The help I would like after looking at these records, are there any other clues for finding a marriage record of Manuel Cabral and Maria de Oliveira AND/OR are there any other clues where I might find the births of their two children, Joseph de Maria and Maria Cabral. Thank you so much, in advance, for looking at these records. Thea Norum -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
