I believe they used Our Lady when the baby was in danger of death or
perhaps there were no other women in the house to stand in as a
godmother.
In Norte Grande (Sao Jorge) where I am researching, Our Lady is invoked as
madrinha ("touching her crown on the head of the baby being baptized")
much of the time, not when there is danger of death. This seems to be in
the 1880s and 1890s (and maybe other times). Maybe it was "fashionable".
In Norte Grande its often Nossa Senhora das Neves, patron of that church,
or Nossa Senhora do Rosario.
It would be interesting to know the origin of this custom.
