I have seen marriages between couples with the woman being much older. I recall finding one marriage of an 18 year old man marrying a 48 year old widow. I am sure this was the talk of the town. Must have been one marry widow. It is possible that many of this type of marriage took place because the widow (or single woman) had much property to bring to the marriage.

When I first started this journey I had my GGgranda born in 1867, it seems that he is getting progressively younger than she is, so would it be the exception that he would marry a woman up to possibly 9 yrs older once over here? Or wouldn't that make any difference? Mike On Nov 5, 2013 12:33 PM, "Judi Phillips" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Mike, Ancestry has US Naturalization Index for Antonio S. Pereira living in Portsmouth, born in Fayal 29 July 1877, arriving in US 22 Jun 1894, naturalized 17 Sep 1901. Certificate # (p) 9589, US District Court, Providence, RI . The records should be at the National Archives in Waltham, MA. You can call them at 866/406-2379 <tel:866%2F406-2379> and ask the procedure. I got records years ago using my credit card over the phone. Make sure you give them the certificate number. Good luck Judi _____ Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2013 08:51:16 -0800 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] where to next I've been trying to find my GGgrandfathers naturalization paperwork without much luck, I'm hoping that there would be more specific info just to make certain who I think he is, is really him. In an interview in the Standard Times in New Bedford, Ma on March 30, 1941 he states he became a citizen on 9/5/1901. He then took his wife and daughter to Fayal 28 days later on 9/29/1901, he claimes to have returned with his family on March 17th, 1902 but it was actually on May 17th, 1902 aboard the ship Peninsular with his wife and daughter. He was Antone Perry Sr. (Antonio Silveira Pereira), his wife Mary Perry (Maria Leal da Rosa), and my Ggrandma Mary Perry (Maria Pereira) Now on paper he seems to get the date of the day correct, but yet he's almost always wrong about the year. I looked for his naturalization and passport at the local level, county level, state level, Nara, US immigration index search, I've also asked the courts at the town, city, county, state and federal levels and they tell me they have nothing. As for me trying to find him or anyone else in the CCA records I'm almost ready to concede defeat, I can hardly match up the information I have recieved from all of you with your translations. Can anyone help point me the right direction?
