Nick, The handwriting is really bad. One needs time to study the pattern of the priest's handwriting and only then it is possible to get a better understanding of what he says accurately.
I confirm that Manoel is the son of Anna Joaquina, her last name is not clear at first glance. Only one of the parents is mentioned, I believe is the mother, as I can read the second part of the name "do Rozario". They were all born in Santa Cruz, residents of Corpo Santo. Manoel was born on the 8 Jul 1903 and baptized on the 25 of the same month and year. As I said, further study is necessary to read the whole document in details.

Some entries have beautiful handwriting (like entry 47, below > Manuel's baptism).. but others are terrible.
