I guess you may be right about Estevao Correia and Ana de Melo. The marriage record may be lost. But your research is very good so you know who the parents are. I don't have anything for Ana de Melo. Antonio Correia Paiva cc Barbara de Almeida, Jan 11 1722, filho de Manuel Correia defunto and Catarina de Paiva, and she is filha de Manuel Vaz Bultao or Bulhao defunto and Barbara de Almeida, all natives of Achada Grande.
