Tina, thanks for the marriage look-up. Does NEHGS have divorce records for Massachusetts?

Also, is there a way to find a death date for Albert Berry?

He was born Nov 11 1858 and birth name was Albert Morris Wixon birth parents are Albert H Berry and Mary Abby Kelley of Harwich. At age 2 he moved in and lived with James Berry family until 1880 census.

In 1880 he married Elizabeth Studley (my great-great grandmother) they had 3 daughters Lizzie born 1882, Martha born 1884 and Elsie born 1886.

So, Albert re-married in 1888 when his youngest daughter was 2yrs old. WOW!!!

I saw that his 2nd wife Julia Christina Vibbert re-married in Edwin W. Freeman on April 20,1890 in Harwich,MA.

I assume she re-married after Albert Berry died. I heard he was lost at sea and seeing that they married in 1888 in Boston and in 1890 she was in Harwich which is Albert Berry's birthtown. I guess maybe he did really get lost at sea.

But can't find a death record for him. I assume he would be listed as Albert Berry and not by his birth name Albert Wixon. At least this narrows my time frame some but have no clue where to look next to verify the lost at sea story as he does not show up on 1900 census in any state.

Any ideas?
