Section Two:                                                                                                                                          THE VARIOUS ANTONIO PEDRO GOMES

Relative to the various Antonio Pedro Gomes, we can see that there are 4 distinct men & 3 of them were born virtually in the same time period (the early 1840's).  The next (that I have in my records) was not born until 1880.   One is  Antonio Pedro Gomes, a single man until 1897,  who appears as a witness from the early 1880s until 1900 & who was the "treasurer of the Parish". I feel confident that Antonio Pedro Gomes who md Maria Ignacia de Lima is the man who was single for much of his life & then md in 1897 at the exact right age & as Treasurer of the Parish I was able to view & compare his signature on the Mandate he filed with the Church & the documents that he signed as a witness.  

(1)   Antonio Pedro Gomes   born 1841                                                                                                       Husband of Maria Ignacia de Lima  (b. 1841         )    -- they married on 3/11/1897                                   Son of Pedro Gomes Mosso & Antonia Soares da Conceicao         

---  he was single throughout - the priest informed that he was also "tesoureiro desta frequesia" - the Treasurer of the Parish.  Other priests/records indicated that he was a trabalhador or proprietario (so these need to be distinguished as it could be two single men -- one a trabalhador & one a proprietario - OR he could have been a worker who then bought land).  It is this type of specific information that helps to distinguish people with the same names.  I was told that often the Treasurer of the Parish would stand in as a witness.
