JR and Altino, thank you so much The family members named, match the birth records I've found for both Thom and Felicia. I was actually hoping this marriage record would mention their ages and prove I had the wrong birth record for Felicia because I'm just having a hard time accepting an age difference so big. According to my birth records for them, he would have been 56 (born 18 Dec 1724) to her 19 (born 18 Dec 1761) when they married 3 Dec 1781. Unfortunately, I'm now virtually certain I have the correct record. I get it, older men who wanted to have families would have to find a wife young enough to bear children but 37 years?....yuk. The fact that his parents were both deceased makes sense though.
*Altino*, thank you too for looking up the additional info. I'm not familiar with Canto's index but your info does match the records I've found at culturacores.azores.gov.pt I will definitely be looking up the additional info you both posted as well. Again, thank you both for taking the time to look all that up.
