I have a marriage certificate for an ancestor who lived and worked in Tojal Portugal and would like to find out more about his working in Tojal if possible.

Charles Snook was the Manager of Woking Paper Mill Ltd in November 1872 and after his return to Woking before 1891 Manager of St Martha’s Paper Mill, Old Woking, Surrey
Who can answer these questions if possible?

When did Charles Snook arrive in Portugal?
When did his family return to Woking?

Any additional information would be welcome.

There were no European passenger lists so the immigration may remain a mystery.
