	The address for finding out about divorces is: Principal Registry of the Family Division First Avenue House 42-49 High Holborn London WC2V 6NP The phone number is:- 020 7947 7017 It costs £20 for them to do a 10 year search, and I'm not sure but I think they might need the date of marriage, but if I were you I'd give them a ring first and see what they need. On saying this they couldn't find my father-in-laws divorce in the 10 year period I gave them, but that might be because I was guessing at when I thought the divorce would be. If you have a good idea of the year they should be able to find it. Hope this helps. Kath. x

It has never been known why they divorced, would it be posible to find this out? Leslie Thomas and Eleanor Thomas nee Boag. Unfortunatly I dont know where they were living at the time, My grandfather was born in Cambuslang in Scotland, but lived in Darlington later on.
