Marriage record request after 1911

[E Jewkes]

Dear Azores group,

I need some help learning how to send a request for a marriage record performed after 1911. I found the following information for contacting district archives on FamilySearch Wiki but when I tried to send an email requesting the record and apparently it was a bad email address. Here is the address and email address of the district archives that I found. Does anyone have a better email address or mailing address for this office or know of another way to find the record I'm searching for? Below are the details I have so far and the text of the email I sent. Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Cunha Jewkes

Prezado Secretário,

Estou procurando a certidão de casamento dos meus bisavós. Aqui estão as informações que encontrei nos registros de batismo. Ambos os registros de batismo indicam que o casamento deles foi realizado em 8 de janeiro de 1916. Você poderia, por favor, enviar uma foto da certidão de casamento deles? Obrigado pelo seu tempo.

Sinceramente,

Elizabeth Cunha Jewkes

Hi Elizabeth,

The archives on Sao Miguel (Ponta Delgada) holds records up to about 1911. Maybe a handful of freguesias have books past that date. That means about 60-some freguesias do not have books at the archives.

For records after 1911 on Sao Miguel island, you have to write to one of the 6 Civil Registries. I would need to know the freguesia you are researching so I could give you the correct address for the Civil Registry for that island.

Hope this helps!

Both baptisms you cite are from Ribeirinha in Angra on Terceira Island.  They also both have margin notes that state they married on 8 Jan 1916 in the same parish.  To get a record of this 8 Jan 1916 record you should contact the civil registry in Angra.  Here is link to their contacts page: https://irn.justica.gov.pt/Contactos-do-Registo/Registo-Civil-de-Angra-do-Heroismo

Good luck,

Ribeirinha records for Terceira are housed in the Civil Registry for Angra. You can make an online request here, but you need your Portuguese identity card:

If you don't have a Portuguese identity card, email Joao Ventura, the archivist, and pay him to retrieve the record for you. heroi99 at yahoo dot com
