Neil, I looked at the NEPS website for Calheta and could not find any information about the parents. The only additional information it showed (which you may already have) is birthdates for three of the children of Jose Antonio Braga and Marianna Sao Jose: namely, Jose born 28 Dec 1888, Maria born 26 Dec 1890 but died 7 days later on 2 Jan 1891, and finally Delmia born 6 Nov 1892.
Sorry, I don't have answers to the questions you actually posted, but figured I'd send what I saw in case you didn't have the above info.

In April 1882 he gets married to a Marianno de Sao Jose in Senhora da Conceicao, Angra, Terceira (her hometown)-see CCA casa record. They have four children: Jose, Mario, Delfina & Anna-all born in Calheta de Nesquim, Pico. (see Jose bap record) He ends up in Lowell, Mass......in 1909 with two of his children, Anna & Jose. He is in the 1914 Lowell, Ma city directory with his son-Josi. This son Jose moves to Oakland, California. The April 1882 Conceicao, Terceira marriage states that Jose Antonio Braga is the: illegitimate child of a Manuel Antonio Braga of Braga, Portugal ................& Anna Margarido of ?...... I am trying to figure out what village he was likely baptized at or how old he is. I suspect he (his Mother-Anna Margarido?) may both be native to Calheta de Nesquim-Pico island, where all his 4 children were born in Calheta de Nesquim. How else do I trace these two parents roots? Does anyone have these same Braga's in their family? Is there a death record of him in Lowell, Mass? Any help and direction is very much appreciated.
