Portuguese baptisms (late 18th C)
« on: Thursday 08 January 15 22:53 GMT (UK) »
I'd be very grateful if anyone would be able to help me with searching for a Portuguese baptism from the late 18th C.

The person I am looking for has various anglicised spellings in the English registers, along the lines of Bernard Peychot or Barnardo Peykoto, but I think it should probably be Bernardo Peixoto. Aside from the name, all I have is a 1811 marriage in Cornwall which lists the groom as from 'Oporto' and a later baptism for his daughter that says he was a native of Portugal. Unfortunately I don't have an estimated age for him but I guess he would have been born before about 1790. He was a mariner.

If anyone knows how I might go about finding more information I'd be very grateful.

Hi there, just wondering if you ever managed to find any useful information on this question? Bernardo Peychot is my 4th great grandfather. I found a baptismal record for a Bernardo Peixoto in Porto but it was for 1800, so unless he got baptised when he was around eight I’m not if it is him.
Thanks for any help!

Hiya I can’t see Bento on the link you sent. Bento is short for Bendito so probably not anyway.
Bernardo had four children, Amelia 1814, William Henry 1816, Katharine 1819 and Rosanne 1823. Amelia did indeed marry Michael Perryman, they had Elizabeth but she didn’t have any children.
