Hi Maria,
Thank you so much for your trouble. The family thinks they were born in Oporto, but the British census says Lisbon! Very confusing! Yes there is a possibility they could have been born in Oporto.

Hi Maria,
Thank you for looking up St. George's Church - what a pity they are not there. The family has no more information - we only know they were born in Portugal in either Lisbon or Oporto.
Thank you so much for trying so hard Maria, I will write to the church in Oporto. These boys are impossible to find!
Best wishes,
Debbie

Hello again!
The only thing I have remembered is that the family called their house in England Braganza. Is that an area near Oporto?

Best wishes,
Debbie
