You might want to try checking the databases on http://www.sfgenealogy.com/sf/sfdata.htm

In the meantime, I found this:

Have you tried to trace his children, to see where they lived (and died)?  Have you found him on a census in 1910?

Have you checked with the Cemetery to see if Virginia is buried with Andrew ?

Shelly has found a City Directory entry for 1937 and there is a Naturalization for Andrew Anderson Forbes 29 July 1937.
The California Death Index starts in 1940 and he doesn'tt seem to be listed so perhaps died between 1937 and 1940.

Looks like soneone else is looking for info on Andrew - same person has tree on anc...
