England / Re: Thomas Collins foreign annuitant in 1851?
« on: Thursday 03 September 20 16:43 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I'm desperately hoping I'm not eight years late to the game! I too am researching this family. Thomas Collins/Robert Scott and his Portuguese wife, Leocadia Lodivinia, are my x5 Great Grandparents and I'm anxious to find out anything I can about Leocadia's roots. It seems I've hit a dead end and can't trace her within Evora, Portugal where she's supposedly from. The other issue I've run into is her birth date, or lack thereof. Every source I have points to a birth year of 1802, but with their marriage taking place in 1813, I sincerely hope my sources are wrong and she was older than eleven!
Does anyone have information for Leocadia or her direct family in Portugal, or an accurate birth year for her? Failing that, any clue of the best way to go about researching a Portuguese family from that era whilst quarantining in the UK?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, and I thank you in advance.
