If your male ancestor died before his wife and owned real property at the time of his death, there might have been a quitclaim deed drawn up by the heirs after the widow died. That quitclaim deed might have transferred ownership to one of the other heirs or someone else. It may not mention the widow or her death at all.
“Searching Female Ancestors” is one of my pre-recorded webinars which are available for download.
