hit a roadblock...need help with 1920 census, please

I've come to a roadblock when it comes to finding out when a particular
couple died and if they're in the 1920 census. I have the family in the
1910 census with 3 children, and then I have the youngest (my great
grandmother) married and living with a cousin in the 1930 census. In 1925
she married and is at the same address she is at in 1930. I am hoping to
find them in 1920, but I have not been able to find them through
heritagequest or ancestry...I'm thinking a fresh pair of eyes might be able
to help me find where they're hidden :)

I don't know if there's any vital information that I'll get from the 1920,
but since my great grandmother is not living with the people she's living
with in 1925/1930, I'd like to know where she is. Here is the information I
have.

Angus Knox
1881 census: Cornwall, Cornwall, Ontario; age 7; b. Ontario
with father John Knox 40 and siblings Margaret 17, Elizabeth 14, Robert 11,
and William 10.

Alexander Knox
1900 census: Lowell, Middlesex, MA; age 26; b. Oct 1873 in Scotland; lodger

Alexander and Minnie Knox
1910 census; Tyngsboro, Middlesex, MA
Alexander - head - 39 - M1 10years - b. canada, parents b. canada - imm:
1892 - Al - occ: tanner
Minnie - wife - 39 - M1 10 years - bore 4 children/3 still living - b.
England, parents b. England - imm: 1892
Gilbert - son - 6 - b. MA
Doris - daughter - 4 - b. MA
Edith - daughter - 11/12 - b. MA

Edith is in the 1930 census with her husband Roy McGregor and 'cousins'
Richard and Evelyn Goggin in Randolph, Norfolk, MA. I have found the
Goggin's in 1920 and Edith is not living with them.

I have Edith's birth certificate from Pelham, NH that lists her father as
Angus A Knox, b. in Canada, residing in Lowell, MA and her mother as Minnie
B Hulme b. in England

My grandmother told me that Minnie died young; she thinks around 1918 in the
flu epidemic...she doesn't remember her grandparents Angus and Minnie...she
thinks they both died before she was born in 1926. I have searched the death
index at the MA office of vital records, and haven't found a death record
for either of them. I think I searched from 1910-1950

So, it's possible that Minnie has died by 1920, but where are Angus and the
kids?

Thanks for any help,

kristen

In several of my families, when there was great sickness or death in the
family
they would move temporarily to live with family in the place where they were
born.
In this case they were born in Canada, you might try looking for them in
1920 time
frame in Canada.

Keep in mind the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918 which killed approximately
450,000 people in the US.
