I had this birth record for a son Francisco but I think Francisco’s marriage 
records indicates that he was born around 1835 so I figured that this Francisco 
may have died and they named another son Francisco. I have not yet located the 
second Francisco’s birth record or the first Francisco’s death record but have 
entered it into my database as two separate children for Francisco and Beatriz.

Hi Doreen,

I suspect the Francisco and Beatriz couple you have in your database is the 
correct couple (parents of the brother/sister godparents) and the priest simply 
made a mistake by repeating the godmother's name instead of her mother's.  I do 
not find a Francisco Gonçalves Velho marrying a MARIA do Espirito Santo on the 
Terceira marriage index, but there is one marrying a BEATRIZ do Espirito Santo 
(which you know because you put it in another post)

Furthermore, in a quick scan I found three children from this couple.

I think it likely that the Francisco and Maria above are Narcisa's godparents 
and the priest just made a mistake on their mother's name.  

I hope this helps.
