I think the priest realized his omission and declared at the top of the 
next page that the Maternal Grandparents are Antonio Gomes Canhoto and D. 
Maria do Canto de Meneses

Since the two grandmother's names are so similar, I looked up the parents' 
marriage in Lajes.

 This marriage of the parents shows:

Groom: Manuel Martins Nunes do Canto e Meneses, son of Jose da Souza Nunes, 
deceased, and of Dona Maria do Canto de Meneses
Bride: Dona Maria Caetana do Canto e Meneses, daughter of Antonio Gomes 
Canhoto and Dona Maria Caetana do Canto e Meneses

This couple, if I read this correctly received dispensation for mixed first 
and second degree consanguinity, which I think makes them Uncle/Niece (or 
Aunt/Nephew).  It also means Manuel's wife, mother, and mother--in-law all 
have nearly the same name.

I hope this helps and I'm not confusing this further.
