I haven't seen the records you are referring to, but I would think they are stating what part of Cedros the decedent lived (died) in. Wikipedia shows the following localities within Faial (two of which, Valverde and Ribeira Funda, you mention in your post:
Areias, Cabeço, Canto, Cascalho, Cavões, Janalves, Ladeira, Miragaia, Praça, Ribeira Funda, Valverde Bill On Wednesday, June 8, 2016 at 11:54:56 AM UTC-7, DiG wrote: > I have been going through Cedros death records in the late 1600s and early > 1700s and almost all of the records have a note in the margin under the > name of the deceased.
