HELP! I think I am playing blind! Where will I find divorce records for the 1940/1950's? Thanks (a beginner at all this)

I was lucky and found my grandfathers divorce from 1920 on the National Archives site.
I got everything relating to the divorce for £16.00 and there were quite a few revelations in the documents well worth the cost :-) Good luck

Thank you ever so much! Think I might give up on that one!! It was only to tidy up the ends, so to speak!

Hi Babs

You could try this. I had a search done for late 1940s early 1950s. They are most helpful.
