Diane, I read all the replies you had on your question and I will give you what I can read. This is just an abstract.
On the marriage doc you sent I read the following and what is in brackets is the name/names possible for the abbreviations. 14 may 1764 Manoel Fra. [Ferreira or Faria] son of Antonio Fra. [Ferreira or Faria] de Azevedo and Anna Sylvra. [Silveira] Ma. [Maria] Tereza daughter of João G[r or s]a. [Graciosa?] Pra. [Pereira] and Tereza de Jezus test Manoel Francisco Pimentel and the Pe. [Priest] João Silvra.[Silveira] Dutra The birth registration I read: Manoel, son of Anto. [Antonio] Fra. [Ferreira or Faria] de Azevedo and Anna Sylvra.[Silveira] Born 29 Nov 1733, baptized 3 Dec 1733 Godfather Dos. [Domingos] Dutra and Tereza Maria I do not read Surra anywhere on marriage neither birth document.
