Yes, info on The National Archives site: Divorce 1858-1937: The National Archives Research guides Divorce records for this period are likely to be at The National Archives. 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
