Does anyone know if there is a free on line database of divorces granted in the UK?

From the National Archive..

Q. Where can I find divorce records?
A. The National Archives only holds records of divorces in the Supreme Court. The "Principal Registry of the Family Division" holds records from local courts and divorces after 1943.
Their address is:
First Avenue House
42-49 High Holborn
London WC1V 6XP
Tel: 020 7947 6000

Thanks for that Jayne but i think the one i'm looking for happened before 1943 possibly around 1913 - 1915
