Ok it appears to me that Antonio Coelho Lourenco was married 3 times but I want to make sure. They refer to him as Antonio Coelho and Antonio Coelho Lourenco and Antonio Marques
1st wife Isabel da Conceicao in 1724 (2 35v according to marriage index) and he is referred to as Antonio Marques right side of the page: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-ALTARES-C-1713-1763/TER-AH-ALTARES-C-1713-1763_item1/P38.html Does this list his parents or her's. Are they from Altares? I think it is indicating that Isabel and Antonio are related too? 2nd wife Teresa de Jesus in 1727 (2 39 according to marriage index) and he is referred to as Antonio Marques on the right side of the page: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-ALTARES-C-1713-1763/TER-AH-ALTARES-C-1713-1763_item1/P42.html Refers to other marriage and give her parents as Manuel Godinho and Joanna? 3rd wife Anna da Rosa, widow of Andre Coelho, in 1742 (2 94v) on the right side of the page and he is referred to as Antonio Coelho Lourenco http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-ALTARES-C-1713-1763/TER-AH-ALTARES-C-1713-1763_item1/P25.html It indicates her parents as Matheus Luis and Josefa Rosa but usually records do not list the parents names if they have been married before...? Also they have a child who marries in 1769. His name is Francisco Goncalves Coelho, husband or Maria St. Josepha and their marriage record is on the right side: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-ALTARES-C-1763-1787/TER-AH-ALTARES-C-1763-1787_item1/P25.html This refers to Antonio as Antonio Coelho Lourenco. Despite the name changes I'm sure that I have followed the records correctly because they refer to each other. Unless he married in another village but I do not see that in the records. But once again my ability to read this records is very limited. Often I wonder what I'm missing if I could only read the whole record. Does any of these refer to his parents? Was he born in Altares? I'm hoping someone in the group is related to him and has already figured this out. This branch of the tree stops with him unless I can get additional information from these records. I would appreciate any help I can get. Have a great day. Doreen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
