Have another good find for you, their "Record of Issue of License to
Marry." Went to the Oahu Archives for you and found: Refino de Jesus
Carvalho age 34 residence Kaiwiki, S. Hilo. {Father is J.B. Carvalho,
Mother is Mrs. M. Carvalho} married to Maria Jesus Martins, age 16yrs.
6mons. (Her father name John Martins, Mothers name Mrs. M. Martins} on
April 14, 1904. Now the sad thing is, they did not put the true surnames
of the mothers, just their husbands name. I'd like to send you the
copies, if you would send me your address. If this was done in S. Hilo,
cermony performed by a "Father Olive", then this will also be on file at
the St. Joseph Church. Since on of my family line is Martins, I have
found the various spellings of Martines,and/or Martinez. When the
Portuguese were coming in as plantation workers, so to were the Spanish.
That's why when doing name searches, you have to be open to any and all
possible mispelling of any name. Another example is Silva spelled!
as Sylva. Or Sampaio as Sampia, or Sampaia, and on one death document
that took me years to fine via the Board of Health was spelled Sampai. I
was lucky that someone their figured it had to be family, and it was.
Take care, and hope all the infomation on Rufino/Maria was helpful in your
endeavor on your family research. With aloha, waipili
