And I have a different thought process :) You've confirmed they were alive in 1930 and you know where they were living. I'd start looking at the city directory for that city in 1930 and confirm at which date they were no longer there: that will give you the next starting point as opposed to blindly looking for them between all years in 1930-1940.

Gail E, Search both Ancestry and Family Search for the 1940 census. Different entities, different indexers. There's 2 places to find the California Death Index online. One is VitalSearch, a subscription site. Your local public library might have a subscription. The other is on FamilySearch. Family Search is free. However, it's not fully indexed. You'll have to go to CA records, then find the 1930s decade for the death index, then click on that. Once you get to the Ds, you'll see about 800 images to go through. I'd type in image 100 and go up or down from there until you hit the "Di" section then eventually Dias. If you don't find them dying in the 1930s, then search the 1940-1997 CA Death Index (also free from Family Search) to figure out when they died. If they died after 1940, then you'll have to do some creative hunting to find them in the 1940 census.
