The reason the courthouse cannot tell you is that there are many wells that start with “Elk City” and they cannot help with legal work on deeds, just can help with filing them at the county courthouse. Who is the operator on the checks? Have you contacted them? They will have the location. Have you tried looking up her name on www.okcountyrecords.com?
You should also include your wife’s maiden name and/or parents’ names during your search. Also, the checks should have a county description. These will often also provide the Section Township Range.
