I had that word “official” in a record for an iron worker and it turned out to be like the word for “occupation” like “oficieu?( probably I didn’t spell it. I thought it meant “office” (?) ”something but it referred to occupation. I don’t know if that makes sense but it was a word used in a short timeframe of years and in a parish I was researching. Mine said official ferreiro- I knew they didn’t have trains and asked on AZORES list- it turned out to mean BLACKSMITH. Now THAT made more sense to me. Good luck 🍀
