This was on the home page of 1837, until the last day or so divorce records The divorce records are a set of registers of decrees nisi and absolute, with their indexes. These are kept by the Principal Registry of the Family Division (PRFD), and are not accessible by the public. Instead, officials will carry out a paid search of the index, and certified copies of the decrees can be bought. You can contact them at: Principal Registry of the Family Division First Avenue House 42-49 High Holborn London WC2V 6NP Tel: 020 7947 6971 or (international) +44 7947 6971 http://www Jay

Seeing the other thread reminded me to ask, (that's about scotland though so no help to me) where would you get information on divorces in the early 1950's? And can you still do it if you don't have the date, but the names of the people involved? Thanks, Liz
