Manuel Raposo Correia Bicudo (1723, Ribeira Grande)

[Carlos Melo]

Hi,

Has anyone ever found Manuel Raposo Correia Bicudo's birth and marriage records?

He's my 6th great-grandfather.

According to Rodrigo Rodrigues, he was born in Achadinha, Nordeste, baptised in NS Estrela, Ribeira Grande, in 1723, his mother was unknown but his father legitimised him, and he married Isabel Margarida de Resende, also from Achadinha. However, I cannot find any record. I know that this line is described, but the 18th century records are available, so I find it odd that none can be found.

If anyone has more information, I'd appreciate your help. 

Thanks,

Carlos

Carlos,

Happy to compare notes. Manoel and Isabel are my 6th great grandparents as well (their son, Duarte is my 5th great grandfather). I have the marriage record for Manoel and Isabel, baptism record for Isabel, baptism / marriage records for majority of their 9 children, and a ton of records above Manoel's father Manoel (the unmarried one - I have his baptismal record as well, his brother Pedro was his godfather). Have you seen the Livro de genealogias by Carlos Machado and Ernesto do Canto? Feel free to email me outside of this group and we can exchange notes.

Your distant cousin.

Sorry...I misspoke. Here is what I have:

• Manoel Rapozo Correa Bicudo's death record: https://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-ND-ACHADA-O-1781-1809/SMG-ND-ACHADA-O-1781-1809_item1/index.html?page=2
  • Husband of Isabel Margarida de Rezende (I believe her death record is right below his on the same page but that page is a mess)
  • I am missing Manoel and Isabel's marriage record. Records have a gap between 1756-1757 in Achada. Their first son Manoel was born Jan 1757. I've searched Achada from 1733-1755 and 1758+. I also searched Estrela in Ribeira Grande for marriage banns because his children's baptisms list it as his home parish with no luck
• Isabel's baptismal record: https://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-ND-ACHADA-B-1712-1732/SMG-ND-ACHADA-B-1712-1732_item1/index.html?page=133
• Baptisms for their children: Manoel, Duarte (my direct line), Thereza, Roza #1, Roza #2, Jozeph, Francisco, Antonio #1, Antonio #2
• I have Manoel's father Manoel's baptism: https://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-SAOSEBASTIAO-B-1686-1703/SMG-PD-SAOSEBASTIAO-B-1686-1703_item1/index.html?page=223
• I also have a bunch more above that line
