According to both the GHP and PORGENER indices, João Silveira de Faria (son of António Silveira de Faria and Maria José do Céu) died on 22 October 1895 in the parish of Angustias, in Horta. As shown below, the entries in the obito book of Angustias for this time period doesn't have his entry. I've also checked the other parishes in Horta proper.


Maybe I'm just not seeing it? It's a bit odd that it's not recorded in the book. If anyone had insight it would be appreciated!

I would guess someone made a typo on the death date. You'll have to do a manual search to find it.
