David, The line after Maria Thereza (8th line): viuva
End of line 9: digo is hyphenated. He's got di- and then go on line 10. 12th line: After single, it's her occupation, but I'm unsure of the first letter. _iadeira, I'd say. End of that line: donde 13th line: I'd say the street is Caminho de Cima. avós vs avôs: You'll probably have to ask someone on the history of handwriting/paleography, but my best guess is that's they way they did it in the old days. Modern is avós and avôs. Grandfather is Joao Botelho. Godfather: Augusto de Medeiros. 9th line from bottom: Hyphenated and run together: ema- should be e ma- drinha (e madrinha) a? invocação 7th line from bottom: Looks like coroa to me too. 6th line from bottom: He's a viuvo (widower), Thezoureiro?? do Templo (maybe he's the treasurer of the temple??) 5th from bottom, last word: serem or seram (however you spell it). 4th from the bottom: E para constar lavrei 3rd from bottom: este a frente?? ... lido e conferido Last line: nao saber escravir (spelling). Era ut supra (that's Latin for It was as above). That's all I can get out of it.
