I also did a search on Family Search.org which listed a person of that name, minus the "Garcia," christened in London, in 1860. His birthplace was given as the Isle of Man. Granted that this person could have been a relative, but it may have added more factual information that what has been revealed to date. Additionally, with all of the the varying dates, checking out the LDS films looks more viable. I mentioned it to George because I believe he still has access to the Dartmouth FHS, where the film collection includes all of the parishes in the Azores, including St. George Episcopal in S.Miguel.
