The ages you have 18 and 46 are correct. My thoughts on why you cannot find them are this and perhaps you have already done some of these.
Try looking for any births of other children of her parents Francisco Raposo Gamboa and Maria de Mello I would do this by looking for their marriage and then go from that date and look for all the children. Once you have found any other children you can check the gaps between each child for Maria’s birth. It is possible that there was more than Maria for the family and when the scribe looked for the birth he got the wrong one and thus the wrong age. Another possibility is that she gave an older age than she really was so be sure to check records up to 5 years before the age which is given. Lastly she could be much older so you have not looked back far enough.

Was the bride 18 and groom 46? I've been trying for several years to locate the brides moms parents. The brides mother was Maria Mello. Maybe I'm searching the wrong date but it looks to me like the bride Maria de Jesus was 18 in 1878. So she would have been born on or about 1860. Maybe someone with Mello ancestors from Nordeste can shed some light on this.
