Th divorce file usually contains a marriage certificate including parents details and other valuable information, children etc.
You could put a request for Ros to kindly add to her list the next time she is visits the Archives, to copy the divorce file, but that may take a while as the archives are closed to the public due to COVID-19

If you want the divorce file sooner, you would have to pay for staff to copy. Copy service is still available.

Hello from Geelong Australia.
I have been reading up on the site to do my my birth mother Patricia nestor heath to find out more on her mother. i was reading a post someone posted who had no idea that Rita had another child.
I was giving up for adoption when i was born in 1958 by Patricia. I got to meet her when i was 35 years old in geelong and sadly not long after she passed away. I am the oldest of 10 and the only one giving up for adoption as she married later.
I am interested in more information on Rita as i know she placed my birth mother in a government home and i would love to know why she did that. Patrica had a sad up bring i was told right before she died .
