Hi Dano,
Thanks for your reply and yes, there was some helpful information :-). If my translation is correct (and it’s so easy for me to get it wrong), the previous page ends for the year 1601 (e um). Page 87 starts in 1612 (e doze). Talk about “bad luck”! LOL I do believe that the missing half record indicates the groom as Belchior Glz Cordeiro son of Balthazar Afonso already deceased. From the year, other names mentioned and subsequent records, I’m reasonably confident about whom the groom is, but I just wanted to be sure that I’m not “making it up” :-). Sadly, the Quatro Riberas lead is another of my brick walls (more like complete dead end in a tunnel) since the records for that parish don’t start until 1668 – imagine my complete and utter disappointment when I went looking! Couldn't have gone any further back with the Biscoitos records anyway as there were no more books. So, that’s it with the research and am now tidying up “loose ends” LOL … hence my question. Thanks for transcribing and confirming Maria’s parents’ names – it’s always good to get someone else’s input.
