In some fortunate baptism entries there is a note in the margin that gives the marriage info. As I understand it, sometimes contact was made with the church of baptism when a person got married, to confirm they were indeed baptized in the church and to assure they were not married before. I have seen such entries in Irish-American parishes. Or the entry might be made later, I don't know for what purpose. The word "Casou" is your tip!
I have one baptism record that lists his two wives and lots of relevant dates in the margin! By the way, this was the way I identified my husband's great-grandmother's birth record. I was uncertain on her parents' names, she was born a couple of years earlier than her obit would have us believe, and it turned out she was a Maria "Second of that name". Oy. It was only the margin note that told me it was her. Oh happy day that was! Here is the note: (as best as I could transcribe it, those notes are so scrawled!): "Casou com Jose Pedro Leite nem Igrejia parochial de freguesia Ponta Garca desta concelho, 17 de Marco de 1897. Avanto (?) de? 11 de Octobre 1982." (Question marks mine, impossible to make out the writing. ) I don't understand the last part, or why someone would want that info in 1982. She died in 1941. As hard as they can be to decipher, you have to look carefully at those baptism margin notes! They can give marriage and death dates.

Can you give us more information to go on. Also, how can a birth record tell when/where someone was married?
