query on a 1840s episode with John Orr in Goa

[cristiana bastos]

Dear GRNetters, 

THis is a query regarding a possible Goa connection of a  quite interesting character from Guyana (Then British Guiana, even though when he was born the place was under  Dutch administration) -- John Orr.  According to some sources he spent time in some prison in Goa in the 1840s; he was a protestant preacher who often fought against catholicism, but i am not sure what was the reason he went to jail in Goa, if he did at all -- and if he in fact was in Goa  at all. Anyone here ever heard of him?   MANY THANKS 

Cristiana

Hi Cristiana

Don't know about him, but there was one José Frederico d'Assa Castelobranco, 31 years old, from Rio de Janeiro, who in 1805, August 17, was punished by the Inquisition in Goa. He was a sargent in the Ponda Regiment, and married to Francisca de Sequeira. His crime was mocking the mysteries of the Passion of Christ in the midst of a great multitude of Gentiles. His punishment was a dose of spiritual instruction.

Dear Cristiana,

I had never hear of him, but googling about him it really seems a curious character. As you are not in Goa, so without access to the archives, my suggestion, as a first step, most probably has already occurred to you: to check the Diário do Governo.

best wishes,

Sandra
