Surnames: AGUIAR, de JESUS, MENDONCA

Joao Joaquim de MENDONCA married Anna de JESUS de AGUIAR. The event took place on 19 Dec 1898.  The record is in Brazil marriages:  
São Bento, Araraquara, São Paulo, Brazil   

The bride’s father was Simiao Joaquim de AGUIAR and her mother was Anna de JESUS, with no other surname (Simiao is a rare first name).   I have been tracing Simiao de AGUIAR back and cannot find a Brazil birth or passport record with his name.  I have had limited possibilities of AGUIAR found in Santana, Madeira and in Sao Miguel.  

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have seen a few Aguiar’s in Sao Miguel, Bretanha and Ponta Delgada.

On the page for the link you provided there is a link to browse the film.  Click that and navigate to image 405.  It is the record of this marriage very clear and legible.  It says your bride's parents are from Madeira in "Santa Anna" parish.
A search of the Madeira archives at https://abm.madeira.gov.pt/pesquisa/baptismo/ gives this result:

  • Data: 1876-12-03
  • Local: Paróquia de Santana

  • FILHO: Maria
  • Pai: Simião Joaquim de Aguiar
  • Mãe: Ana de Jesus Ornelas

  • Livro: 6174-A
  • Folha: 39 v.º
  • Obs:
There is no other baptism listed for a father with this name.  This child is the right age (would have been 20 in Dec 1896) and the parents' names and parish match the marriage record.  The name however is listed as "Maria" not "Anna".

Hope you find this helpful.

Bill, you’ve done it!   Thank you So much. As a note for others, on one obscure record in all my searching, there was a mention of an Anna Maria de Jesus.   She was christened Maria, then.  She must have been an only child, then, which made the searching more difficult.   AND I FINALLY HAVE A PARISH.   Thank you.  Santana was where my her grandson— my father-in-law— was born and baptized after they left Brazil soon on their way to the sugar plantations in Kohala, Territory of Hawaii.  

Gratefully,

Debbie

Bill.
When you say go to page 405, do you mean I should be able to see the handwritten record?  I can't get past the typed record.  What am I doing wrong?

Yes it is the handwritten record.  On the Familysearch.org page you provided a link to in your original post, there is a link in a blue field on the right that says "browse the film".  I clicked that and browsed until I found it on image 405.

This link takes you directly to the image since I already did the browsing for you (you must be logged into Familysearch.org) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939F-RZR4-R?i=404&cc=2177299

Please let me know if this worked.
