O Padrinho, Jozé da Silva Pires. O Párocho, Manuel Gomes da Silva Pombo.


CHRISTENING CERTIFICATE (TRANSLATION)

Christenings' Record Book of the Parish of Santa Maria Madalena do Mar, Ponta do Sol Number 19.

On the twenty first of June of the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety one, in this church of Santa Maria Magdalena do Mar, county of Ponta do Sol, Diocese of Funchal, I have solemnly baptised an individual of the male gender who I have christened as Domingos, who was born in this village at three a.m. of the nineteenth day of the same month and year, legitimate son (first of his name) of Jozé Fernandes Coelho, agricultural labourer, and Jesuína da Ponte, housewife, born in this village, where they were married and are parishioners, resident at Turreão, grandson on his father's side of António Fernandes Coelho and of Maria de Jesus, and on his mother's side of Domingos Vieira and of Izabel de Ponte. The Godfather was Jozé da Silva Pires, married, salesman, resident at Passo, and the Godmother was Feliciana da Ressurreição, married, housewife, resident at the same place, both of whom are of my personal acquaintance. And for the record I executed this certificate in duplicate which, after being read and confirmed in the presence of the Godparents, was signed by me and by the Godfather, but not by the Godmother, who cannot write. Era ut Supra. The Godfather, Jozé da Silva Pires. The Priest, Manuel Gomes da Silva Pombo.
