Eric, I know you’re scrupulous, but I just want to be sure about the death identities for the following reasons:
These two deaths are a major find because it means my great grandmother, Filomena b. 1851, cannot be their daughter, yet I have constructed my descendants around this assumption. (Talk about shaking a big tree). That is, they can’t be her parents since José Tomás Pimentel Carneiro died on ? Jun 1844 and his wife Isabel de Jesus (Isabel Tomásia) died 16 Apr 1850. Indeed, my family records have always disagreed with this parentage (plus I’ve never been able to find Filomena’s baptism record). I had been persuaded by other genealogical sources when I first started in 2012. Now eliminating Jose and Isabel as Filomena’s parents fits with a revised scenario since I’m somewhat confident that I have found Filomena’s real parents recently. However, I found no records in which Isabel de Jesus is listed as Isabel Thomasia. I found three children for her as Isabel de Jesus: Maria (Maria Isabel Carneiro Thomas) b. 9?
