Always think about the family that was left behind when someone died? Were there children who would have needed looked after? Was there a spouse who would have needed some assistance? Was there an adult child who would have been unable to look after themselves?
Who would have been nearby to help these individuals?
In that family where you are stuck, have you asked yourself “when my ancestor died, who were their nearest living relatives and how far away did they live from the deceased?”
Were there court records, guardianships, or other records resulting from issues when the person died?
