Death Records Now

I’m researching his genealogy for a friend of mine. I have had trouble finding his obituary in newspaper microfilm because I don’t know the exact date that he died. Does anyone know this or where I can go to find it out. He does not show up in the Social Security Death Index, or rootsweb, or ancestry.com. Google searches typically bring up stuff about an unrelated Mexican singer of the same name.

Is there a (preferably free) place where I can access records from the censuses that the United States took in the Philippines while they were still an American colony? I’ve tried the National Archives in Washington State. They have everything else including the Panama Canal Zone, but for some reason they don’t have the Philippines even though it was a U.S. territory back then and there were at least three censuses taken by the U.S. in the early 1900s.

Ancestry.com doesn’t have the Philippine census either, nor can I find it anywhere else. Anyone know where I can find it?

Maybe yes or maybe no…You really don’t have much for sure to go on! I found this in the S.S.D.I.

Unless you have something closer! I can"t believe that this guy
worked in this country for many years without a S.S. Card

I’m Searching for a Marriage between ?McCoy and Josephine Marie Hauser-Hessey She appears as Marie Josephine McCoy on her sons Robert Dickson Hessey World War One Draft Reg. She divorced Her first Husband Gerard Grant Hessey after 1910 she lived in Tacoma,Pierce County,Washington by 1918 and is married again to a ? McCoy but on the 1920 census she is listed as a Widow still living in Tacoma.Pierce co,Washington I have searched the Washington State Digital Archives she’s only listed with her first husband. No records after the 1930 census she is still living in tacoma,washington by herself I cant even find a death record for her I’m not even sure she is still in Washington I need help I’m stuck.
Josephine Marie Hauser of Marie Josephine Houser was born 1874 in Alton,Illinois
Grannytoad Frank McCoy is actually Frank Hessey apparantly her second husband adopted him and no its not him in Prison his father was born in Iowa and his mother in Illinois. But thanks for the Info.

Not sure if this will help much, but I think I found her death record in the Washington Death Index (1940-1996):

Marie McCoy, died 8 May 1944, age 72, Tacoma, cert # 718

You might consider contacting the Pierce County Genealogical Society to see if they can help you find the official marriage record:

Incidentally, my g-g-grandmother was a Houser: Sarah Catherine (1863-1925) born in DeKalb Co., Indiana, daughter of Adam. Most Houser/Hausers came from Pennsylvania. Bet we have a connection somewhere.
