Did the person you are looking for collect Social Security? If so, they could be listed on the Social Security Death Index and that would list at least the year they died and the place where they received their last check. If the person did no live long enough or was not at the right age to receive social security, have you found the person in the census records? Sometimes if you find them in one census record and then not the next, you can at least narrow down the year range to 10 years and possibly the location. If you want to send me what information you have, I could take a crack at it?!!
