Hi Suzanne, Is this your cousins ancestor and if so has she taken the Family Finder test? Manuel Teixeira de Avila is my 4th ggrandfather. I descend by his first marriage to Maria de Jesus (she was a Bettencourt). Manuel is my most interesting ancestor thus far. His father was Jose Antonio da Silveira and his mother was Maria de Jesus ( daughter of Manuel de Avila Teixeira.) He was given his maternal grandfathers name. He and Maria de Jesus had quite a few children (would need to look for #)...they married when he was 26 and she was 19. He married Anna dos Anjos, his 2nd wife when he was 84 and she was 36. They had their first child (Maria) out of wedlock Nov 2 1853....CCA Velas baptisms 1845-1857, pg 0206.....they married in Dec. 1854, he died Sept 17th, 1855, CCA record, Velas obits, 1826-1855, pg 295, 1 month before their 2nd child, Maria Santa was born...CCA record, pg.256. I've gleaned what I can from the various records but would also appreciate translation of your record by more fluent speakers.....I don't know the connection between he and Anna but feel like there may have been one. He was from Beira but one of the records seemed to indicate that Anna dos Anjos was from Nossa Senhora do Rosario which is in Topo.....not sure. >From Manuel and Maria de Jesus I descend from their daughter, Isabel de Jesus >married to Antonio Jose de Sousa Pereira, from their son, Jose de Sousa >Pereira Mancebo....who left Velas on a whaler in 1853 and ended up in New >Bedford in 1865. Any insights into the records would be appreciated. Best regards, Nancy Jean Baptista Sao Jorge, Pico and Santa Maria

My cousin asked me to post this. She needs a basic translation of it. Specifically if it talks about the couple needing a dispensation and why. It takes up both pages of the book. Thank you.
