Found in CADI: 1940-49 Clara Mesplou, spouse JM, Alameda, 10/30/1944, 68108 Victor V. King, Los Angeles, 6/20/1949 46473 Given Clara's spouse's initials, you really need to have someone check pre1940 CADI for the spouse listed. I didn't find a Mesplou in 1940-59 that would match a first name of J. Ordering her death certificate would answer the question also. The location of death listed above is the COUNTY of death. To determine the CITY of death you will need to order the death certificate. The number following the date of each listing is the state reference number for ordering the death certificate from the state. Here's the info site for CA vital records: http://vitalrec.com/ca.html Check out the SSDI if a soc. sec. number appears in the death listing to see if you can get a birthdate and maybe a last location http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi If you find any of the social security numbers listed in the CADI lookup on the SSDI, please use the Post-em feature to share the information from the CADI lookup so others may have access to it also.
