Hi, my gt gt grandfather moved to Lyle Klickitat, sometime after 1887, we have a letter dated August 1929, and another from an attorney June 1930.. He died sometime between those dates.
I'm looking for anyone with any knowledge of him, he was born uk c1885.
There is talk of him having proprty there, is there any way to get records of death, probate etc.
thank you for reading..

HI.
I know he married Ellen Hall nee Edgerly/Edgerley 27/12/1875 Newton Heath, Lancaster, he was said to be 20s Year old, I've sent up for his marriage certificate which should give me more details .

It's after he deserted her sometime about 1887 that he goes foggy, the letter from him is August 1929 Lyle town Klickitat county USA, so he obviously moved, but I don't know how to access death records there.

Any ideas

Thank you
