Hello, Fawn I think the year is 1788, the wife's name is Rosa Maria residents of "Vale Levante" the Parish is of course, the Santa Maria Madalena in Pico, the godfather's name seems to be José Inácio Oliveira of the village of Faial.
Note that "Vale Levante", means eastern valley, so it doesn't have to be a specific place existing today. Also, I'm not sure this is the same Vicencia Rosa.. It clearly says that the Vicencia in the marriage record was born and baptized in Sta. Luzia. In any case, the second one is this person: http://www.ghp.ics.uminho.pt/geneweb/gwd.exe?b=StaLuzia;lang=pt;p=vicencia;n=rosa Her death record is: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PIC-SR-SANTALUZIA-O-1795-1853/PIC-SR-SANTALUZIA-O-1795-1853_item1/P167.html Note that it's not that uncommon for women to have morphing names.. Try to research her mother's family comes from some 'Francisco' family. Also, it's quite possible she lied about having been abandoned. It's also possible she didn't know.
