Do you need proof for legal reasons such as administration of a will?
This friend said her Great Uncle was hoping to find out because he has two birth certificates one which lists the divorced husband and one with the 2nd husband. The timing of the divorce would settle the issue.

Thanks for that 1939 register. Can't search but not go beyond unless I subscribe. Can't see anything as yet, will check if maiden name comes into play.

Have you looked for them on the 1939 register.
Only on Findmypast? I'm not on them anymore, if that's the case.

A useful guide from TNA:

I saw that earlier but was wondering whether there was some other sneaky way of finding out the divorce without paying the fee for the search. Unfortunately my early newspaper searches have drawn a blank, but I doubt it were really newsworthy. J

Yes I do have the marriage cert and it does say divorced wife of Charles (Edward? bad writing) Hignett but nothing more. I looked up the search and it looks like it's £65 now. J

I am helping a friend out with this one and have got a little stuck, and I am hoping there may be someone out there who may have a few ideas:
The husband is Charles E Hignett (b.1902) and the spouse is Eunice Lilian Coulter (b. 1914) married 2 Aug 1937 in Fulham. Eunice remarries in 1945, and the first husband is still alive so we are looking for a divorce between 1937 and 1945. Charles Hignett was married before and it seems his first wife died in 1937 so he quickly remarried. Eunice goes off to Australia with the new husband Frederick TC Smith (they married 3 July 1945) a few years later.

That rings a bell, had Jenkins from another family members info. Will double check. I was trying to fill the gap of 61, but the missing records could explain a lot.

I am trying to track down some Stantons in the 1861 but I am having no luck.

I am trying to get a little more on Richard  Stanton b. circa 1802 Northamptonshire (Woodford) and family


m. Hannah Higham
1803–

children:
Sarah Stanton 1827–
Valentine Stanton 1829–
William Stanton 1832–
Emma Stanton 1835–
Jane Stanton 1838–
Annie Maria Stanton 1841–1923 this is my link

BIRTH..
Ann Maria Stanton (name as stated on the Birth cert.) born..27 March 1841 - reg. Hornsey and Highgate.   Father- Richard Stanton – Labourer.   Mother – Hannah (formerly Higham) both parents are from Woodford Northamptonshire.
 
MARRIAGE...
Annie (?) Maria Stanton, minor (she would have been 20) Spinster.. Father Richard Stanton ..Gardener.    Married..George Lloyds, minor ( he would have been 19) Bachelor.. Printing Ink maker... Father William Christopher Lloyds..Printing ink maker.
On the 4th August 1861, at The Parish Church, Islington..Both  residing at Hornsey Road.  Witnesses were Hannah’s brother William  Stanton and her sister Jane Jenkins.
 
Daniel Higham, AM’s cousin was living with George and Ann Maria in 1871, he later worked in an Ink factory, which I would imagine was with the Lloyds.
 
I have the Stanton's in the 1841 census, and in 1851 they are living at 5 Hooper st, Parish of St Mary, Islington. Sarah and Emma (married Samuel Hill) are not living with them.

I dont have the ‘61 census but that has proven to be hard to find.

Valentine Stanton, AM’s brother, sadly ended his life in a Workhouse, records show that he was in and out of the Islington workhouse from 1876 to 1896 where he died.

Anyone who can help that would be lovely...
