Potential dad: José Correa Bettencourt born about 1808 Potential mom: Maria Candida born about?? Potential son: Thomas Correia Bettencourt born about 1866 or 1867
When is potential mom Maria Candida born? If she was born a couple of years after her husband, say 1810 and the potential kid was born 1866/7, well, then she was about 57/58 at his birth. That's past child bearing age. Know potential mom's age will allow you to rule her out or keep them as possible relatives.
