Thanks to Ary, Dano, Elaine, and especially JR, for your collective thoughtful replies.
In this particular case - 4 of the 5 sons of José de Braga-Jacintha Umbelina have the same note (different dates) attached to their baptism records. In addition, two of these sons each have 2 similar notes. Notations related to death or marriage have dissimilar wording from these notes. Passports, a possiblility. Given all the evidence, I lean toward some sort of legalities, as suggested by JR.
