Title: John Evan Pritchard LA
Post by: Heather58 on Friday 24 July 15 21:55 BST (UK)
Good evening I am wondering how much a death certificate would be for two of my ancestors one died in LA (the above) death 5/12/1948 and Evan Pritchard died in Providence Hospital Seattle death 25/12/1925.  Also are obits for newspapers relating to those cities available on the internet.
Many thanks in advance
Kind Regard

Washington State:  Death Cert $20 via regular mail; $31.50 via email or phone request.
see http://www.doh.wa.gov/LicensesPermitsandCertificates/BirthDeathMarriageandDivorce/OrderCertificates

Evan died 25 Dec 1924 and death info at http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/Record/View/736784E92E6F6FDCB6D66764AF12DF41

If he and John were from Wales, they may have been living together in Seattle in 1910 census.

The Seattle Times, I believe, is available for that date from GenealogyBank.

Thank you so much - those certificates sound rather expensive.  i will have a look at the digalarchives for Evan.  Yes they were both from Llanrug and brothers.  I saw that John was working for the San Juan fishing Company, don't know about Evan though.

Once more thank you for taking your time to help me
Regards
Heather :)

Hello I have been trying the digital archives and there seems to be an error, is there anywhere else I can read the newspapers from that area.

Digital Archives is showing the death cert not the obit. Seems to be working okay for me.

I can't thank you enough for this certificate, so sad that he died in a missionary especially when he had such a wealthy family back in Llanrug, North Wales makes me very sad..

thank you
kind regards

Put Pritchard in the search box and December 1924 in the box that says Limit by Date.  Then click Search.  You should be able to see a portion of them.

Just been looking at the digital archives about Evan Pritchard and wondering how would they know who his mother was?  Also how do I find out who buried him and did he leave a Will?

Regards

The information about his mother would have likely come from whoever the informant was for the death certificate. 

It looks like he was buried at Evergreen Cemetery, so you could try contacting them for information - http://www.washelli.com/contact-us/

There's a link for probate records here - https://www.sos.wa.gov/legacy/genealogy.aspx

The local genealogical society will also do look-ups for a fee - http://www.seattlegenealogicalsociety.org/kc3i
