Diane D, Go back 9 months from Caesano's birth and start looking. Collect all the siblings until you go about 4 years with no kids. Then go back to Caesano and go 9 months after his birth and collect all the siblings until you go about 4 years with no kids. Then look at all the kids and see if there's any huge gaps. Also, do there seem to be missing pages for those years? (page 21, 22, 23, 35, 26, 37.....then some pages fell out).
If the parents aren't from the same freguesia, check the other freguesia in the huge gap. Get Lucas' marriage date. Go to the baptism book to the date closest to the marriage and start going back in time looking for Lucas' baptism. I had one ancestor who somehow was missed as a baby and he was baptized shortly before his marriage. You could also check a couple freguesias on either side of the supposed freguesia. Maybe Lucas was sick and they went one freguesia over to get him baptized in a hurry? Just some ideas.
