JR, I am treading lightly on this one. I have Antonio da Silva Canario born sometime before 1809 marring Francisca de Jesus. I have found five children born between 1837 and 1849 Francisca died before 18 Oct 1854 when he married Helena de Jesus (Helena Rosa). They have three children born between 1859 and 1867, Maria, Maria, and Jose. Then in 1873 this Emilia is born We know this is the same couple because the priest started to write filha legitima digo filha natural Antonio da Silva and Helena Rosa. So the question is how can Emilia be filha natural when the two people he named are married? I suspect that Antonio da Silva figured out that he was too old or could not have fathered another child and told the priest. He died in 1874 at age 70 more or less in the hospital in Ribeira Grande. Helena Rosa/Helena de Jesus remarried in 1876 to Jose da Costa Pragana.
I there was not another Antonio da Silva Canario in Ribeirinha during this time period especially one married to a Helena de Jesus/Helena Rosa If you need what I have I can provide it along with the sources Rick From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of JR Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2017 6:39 PM To: Azores Genealogy Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Wording in baptism Ribeirinha, SM 1873 I have this person in my database from when I helped someone in Brazil dig up their Canario ancestors. Note the spelling is Canario with two a's and the bird canary. This Antonio Silva possibly married three times. And there is likely two or three such individuals with the same name about the same time. So this may cause confusion. Emilia da Paixao is 22 years old, single natural desta freguesia and is filha natural de Helena Rosa, who is also natural of Ribeirinha. So Helena Rosa had Maria out of wedlock and the father is presumably unknown, though he may have come forward at a later time.

I think there was some confusion as to just who the father was. To add to the confusion I have a Antonio da Silva Canerio married to Helena 1854 and a half a dozen kids before this one Antonio died before 1876 when Helena remarried.
