Denise If that's all you have, my advise is: Ask the Arquivo Distrital do Funchal for the MARRIAGE parish record of Estanislaus Fernandes Neves to Ana Joaquina, in Santo Antonio, before 1820 (why do you say *about 1803*?). In this document it should be stated where they were born, and who their parents were.
