Hi Rob, I see that the first two marriages on the page are what you are referring to. The dates are a day apart, so I suspect after marrying in the church, they went together to record the marriages officially. Yes, I believe the grooms were likely cousins. Both mothers are reported to use Osiana... their first names are Mary and Claudina. One spelling looked like Asiana. I also didn’t find a Portuguese surname that was similar.
Does anyone have name ideas? I suspect the grooms are doing the best they can. Both used a mark to sign. If you know the place the came from... Azores? ...look for birth records.
