Christian, I'll gladly help but I'm not clear on what you're looking for.
Based on the emails content it is not clear to me who you are trying to trace. In any case I found Manuel's birth record which matches the marriage record link you posted. And, it tells all about Antonio Machado. To shed some understanding on the term ausente: It was because they usually went elsewhere to find work It could be on the same island or across the 9 islands. One observation is that around this period there was a lot of movement within the islands. My own GGGF from Graciosa with his S. Jorge bride to be, went to S. Miguel along with hundreds of other man from the Western islands (Pico, S. Jorge, Faial) in a government action to "occupy" the island S. Miguel and mark presence there due to unrest and the civil war, or to defend interests. Some took their wives, some didn't. Also if the person was absent/away outside of the islands the priest would name i.e. America, Brasil, etc. Are you looking for Manuel and his father Antonio's line? Is this the right couple? bottom right. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-B-1791-1803/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-B-1791-1803_item1/P167.html It reads: Manuel son of Antonio Machado, who is natural from N.
