Unfortunately she does not have death date for Albert either. I have the same mystery. These "sailors" just seem to disappear and leave the families. Unfortunate but I guess it happens. I did a run on "Albert Wixon" thinking perhaps he went back to his own name and there were many but none that I saw with births in MA. One never knows why a person just "leaves" but like I said it happens. It happened to my cousin in the late 40's also. One day her husband just was gone and took her only car with and left her with a child. I wish you the best of luck in finding your grgrgrgrandfather's demise. Sincerely Carol
