Several trees on Ancestry have the family, one has a photo of Harriet Reeves.

Only one refers to the divorce on 28/8/1885 at the High Court of Justice, London. Where do we find that record? EDIT found it.

I don't suppose it was a lot of fun back then being married to a bloke who'd just sailed off to China.
