Let me add this reply to your question. This is a Marriage Record. It is a legal document, that is, it deals with the legal names of the participants, and the event that they are participating in; you ask if "Margarida" could have been known as "Gertrude." She could have been "known" by any name she wanted, however, in the legal document, her "name of record" would have been used - as you can see...
