Our research guide describes these records in more detail. It may be worthwhile coming to check. Divorce Records after 1858 The Catalogue Records are kept in series J 77. To find whether there is a divorce record at The National Archives which may be of interest, search the Catalogue entering the surname as a keyword and J 77 as the series reference. nell
