The National Archives online research leaflet on divorce after 1858: www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=53 which says: 'Certified copies of decrees nisi and absolute If you need legal proof of a divorce in any court, from 1858 to the present day, contact the Principal Registry of the Family Division, Decree Absolute Section, First Avenue House, 42-49 High Holborn, London WC1V 6NP (020 7947 7015). For a fee, they will access a union index to the registered court copies of decrees absolute for you, and either provide a certified copy of the information themselves (if the divorce was granted by the Supreme Court) or arrange for a certified copy to be sent to you from the relevant county court. If the divorce took place within the last 5 years, you can also contact the county court where it took place for a cheaper service. If you want information on the cause of the divorce, ask for the decree nisi as well.'

Hi all Just renewed so you're not getting rid of me. Is there anywhere I can find out details of a divorce somewhere between 1932 and 1939? Lisa
