Case for example: John Ophir Hall(abt 1871-1939)[born GA died FL] and Mattie (Mettie?) May McDaniel(abt 1886-1918)[born AL died GA] (my ggp). I have info from 1910 on. I did find a AL marriage that is probably them on Sept 7, 1902. I cannot find any the death of either. Family story is she died in Atlanta... the 1920 census has him as widowed. The only deaths I can find are like John Hall and there might be 10 of them. How does one decide if the death found is your person? What are the other means of finding little tidbits?
