Thanks for the replies. I thought it looked like Maria or Manuel but usually these names are abbreviated to Ma and Mel. Also this couple have a daughter Maria born in 1724 and a son Manuel in 1727. This baby is born inbetween in 1726 - about 22 months before Manuel.. I guess it could be Maria if the previous Maria died. I'll look up the obits - Diane Donnon On Monday, 3 December 2012 11:22:30 UTC+10:30, Mara wrote:
