Looking at the record. Francisco Rosa de Mello is the son of Manuel de Mello Barbosa and Maria Julia he is 50 years old and a widower.
Maria de Lima age 20, Maria do Coracao de Lima age 17 and Joao Ignacio de Lima age 14 are the children of Jose Ignacio de Lima and Francisca Rosa they are all single and all are from Sao Roque. What I see in this record is Francisco Rosa de Mello is most likely a relative the three minors and is accompanying them most likely to join their parents.

Hi everyone, I've been going page by page from about 1904 onwards looking for my parternal grandmather, Maria Lima. It's been great looking at these records for those years from Porto Delgada, because whomever was writing the logs had the clearest handwriting I've seen so far. I think I found her, but they weren't listed as coming from Ribeira Quente. I'm assuming this is a mistake, as they just did an ellipses from the person above them rather than to write the correct town down. So on line 675 here: http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PASSAPORTES-PDL-1906-1907/PASSAPORTES-PDL-1906-1907_item1/P114.html I see the passport for Francisca Roza de Mello, whose parents were Manuel de Mello Barboza and Maria Julia. The next line down is a Maria da Lima, with her parents listed, Joao Ignacio de Lima and Francisca Roza. The line after that is another Maria Lima, who would be the right age for my grandmother, who was born in 1890. I can't read the middle name listed there, and now there are two Marias there. Looking at my family tree, Manuel had a brother Jose who also married a Francesca and their daughter was Maria, but I thought she was the same age, and she would have been a de Mello or Barboza, not a Lima. So is it possible that the first Maria was listed as my grandmother, but would in fact be the cousin? And if this is the correct record, my grandmother would have had a little brother, also named Joao? Thanks for you assistance!
