Thomas Hickling-Baptism record of grandson in Furnas, Sao Miguel.

[Joseph Mendonca]

For any relatives of Thomas and Sarah Hickling, I came across the following baptism record of their grandson Guilherme in Furnas, Sao Miguel.

http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PV-FURNAS-B-1801-1816/SMG-PV-FURNAS-B-1801-1816_item1/P169.html 

Looks like the actual baptism was in Madeira but was also being recorded in Furnas for some reason.

That's interesting. I wonder why. If only the books could talk.

Thank you for that find, Joseph.

I have been passively watching this thread for a few months now.

I visited Sao Miguel for the first time in July this year with a few of my cousins.

I am a descendant of William Ivens and Elizabeth Flora Hickling.

 

Again, my thanks

Thank you Joseph.

Cheri, the book did talk 😊

The record states the child was baptized in Madeira island in April but because the Santa Se parish rant out of the Holy oils, this part of the ceremony of baptism was performed in August in Furnas, where the couple also lived.  The affluent did not stay stationary in one island.  Wives did accompany husbands on many occasion. 

Cheers,

Margaret
