Hi thank you once again Mara. The house without number is interesting because when her husband died 12 years before it also says the same thing about his house on Ribeira do Nabo. When he died, she said in her letters that they were about to lose the house because the Government would take it as my GGgrandfather, the eldest son, was not there to claim his inheritance. It appears she didn't lose the property unless she moved further along the Ribeira do Nabo. Would this have been a street as we know it - or an area? I have no concept of how they would have lived, their houses etc. as all the information I can find is in Portuguese and is a big new challenge.I'll keep looking. Luckily I know a bit of French and Latin and that has helped. Wish they had Google Earth pictures back then! Regards Diane Donnon
