Marg - In order to get a Massachusetts death record for someone it helps to know where he died. The records are kept by the individual city and town clerks. Since your ggm was living in Attleborough (now Attleboro - the name was shortened when it became a city in 1914) that is the reasonable place to start. The vital records for Attleboro are published only through 1850, so you would want to contact: Attleboro City Clerk 77 Park St. Attleboro, MA 02703 508-223-2222, Ext. 3111 City web site: http://ci.attleboro.ma.us/ (The City Clerk does not appear to have a page) Note that North Attleborough became a seperate town in 1887. If you have no luck with Attleboro try: North Attleborough Town Clerk 43 S. Washington St. North Attleborough, MA 02760-1642 508-699-0108 Town web site: http://north-attleboro.ma.us/ Town Clerk: http://north-attleboro.ma.us/government/departments/town_clerk/ Dale H.
