Parents of Pedro Fonesca (1753 Marriage)

[Dennis Munise]

I'm reviewing a marriage from 1753 and I'd like another set (or a few sets!) of eyes on the groom's parents.

Groom:  Pedro da Fonesca

I have a relative's tree who has a Manuel Fonesca Mota married to Antonia Ferreira.  I'm trying to determine if Pedro's parents are the same as the people mentioned here.

I'm not overly concerned with proving out Manuel because I know names get dropped.  In this record, however, I can't quite make out Antonia's name.  My first thought was "Tereza" but it looks like a few too many letters.  By the same token, it could be Ferreira but I don't know if the squiggle below the word was a slip of the pen or if it's a letter (or accent).

Thanks in advance!

It’s Antonia Ferreira (a “y” instead of an “i” is used here; typical archaic spelling).

Thank you for that, I hadn't considered the "y" instead of an "i".

Thank you to everyone who responded!
