I have looked thru everything FamilySearch has. So now I need help. My grandfather Fred Ashford became a ward of a family, because his father (John Ashford) and mother (Hannah Goldstein) died at the same time in St. Louis, Missouri.

Sometime between 1879-1890. I have looked in wills, newspaper, court, census. I have hit a bad brick wall. I can not fine Fred till marriage 1942 and nothing on father and mother. help please
