	For divorces in the 1900's you can write to the following address:- PRINCIPAL REGISTRY FAMILY DIVISION FIRST AVENUE HOUSE 42-49 HIGH HOLBORN LONDON WC1 6NP They will do a 10 year check for a divorce and it costs about £30. You need to know both of the couple's names and if possible the date of marriage. The marriage registration stays in the marriage index even after a divorce. Kath. x
