You didn't mention the name of a couple, just the name of one person. Also, if you're researching native Portuguese, you'll have better luck if you use the Portuguese version of their surname. Harris is not a Portuguese surname - could a person from a family named Harris have been born in Santa Maria, of course! However, it is more likely that if their name would become Harris, their surname would have been spelled "Aires." Now, that only covers one member of the "couple" that you're researching. What was the surname of the other person? In which church/es were they each baptized? What were their respective dates of birth? W/O that information you'll find it quite difficult to succeed in your quest.
