Can't find divorce records on Scotland's people for Sandra Jean sparkes married David gough in 1963 both remarried both now deceased .where else would I find this information?and why would it not be on SP?

The 'register of divorces' starts from 1984.

You might find the 1963 divorce record at the National Records of Scotland.

1830/5-1984

From 1935 to 1984, individual divorce cases are listed in our catalogue and can be found by searching for either party involved in the action.

From 1830/5 to 1934, the printed general minute books of the court (CS17/1) lead to card indexes and bound indexes to the cases. Case papers can be either 'extracted' or 'unextracted' processes. For extracted processes the judge's verdict can be found in the Register of Acts and Decreets (CS45), using the last date for a case in the minute book.

If children are involved in a divorce, the case papers are normally transferred to us only when the youngest has reached the age of 16 - you may have to search through the indexes on this basis. Sometimes the letter 'R' is used alongside entries to show that case papers were 'Retained', while in others the eventual year of transmission is shown in round brackets. Many of the cases involving children are extracted processes."

But searching for Sparkes 1962-1965, no divorce record comes up.
Nor for Gough.

The first marriage was 1963.

The man re-married in 1973 - the woman in 1980

Thank you for the link

ArgyllGran you used to be able to search there for divorces but they seem to have removed them a couple of years ago. I had used their catalogue to Order copies of OH’s grandfather’s divorce papers from 1920. I wish I knew where they are catalogued now. Two of my aunts (both now deceased) divorced and they were listed in the original catalogue but none show now when searching.
