Tracey, perhaps if you provide all the relevant details you have - grandfather's name, approximate date of second marriage, date of his first wife's death, area the marriage is likely to have taken place second wife's given names (and maiden name if you have it) someone will be able to help you.

There are replies to your thread on Records, its best to keep all the information on one thread and it saves people from looking up information that someone else might have already looked up and wastes time. Regards Mhairi |

Tracey Incurable insanity has ALWAYS been cause for divorce!(And probably still is...) The fact that you say 'incurably insane for five years' is exactly what a divorce court would demand to see as proof. If you got a copy of the Decree Nisi, it might tell you more... OC |

Sorry, I see you already have the decree nisi. Willesden is North London - she would almost certainly be in Friern Barnet (aka Colney Hatch) hospital, in New Southgate. This hospital closed in the 1980s, but the records are still in existence, I am sure, and held by the local Health Authority. Whether you would be allowed any information, I am not sure. OC |
