Angela, You're concluding it is "Loura" but the name on the document is Joseph de Loural not Loura. Have a close look and you will see the "L" at the very end somewhat raised and camouflaged by the elongated letter P from above.. Why the difference in the name to Loural? Probably there was no difference and he maintained the same surname but was recognized/known as the Joseph from Loural (a place in Santa Maria) to differentiate from a local Joseph of the same surname.
