Divorce records

[acceber]

Hello

My great grandparents were divorced in the late 1920's, does anyonw know the best way to find records about the divorce and what the records might contain?

I have been told it was in the papers but would this be a local, national or specific (e.g London Gazette) paper?

Any help is much appreciated

If covered by a newspaper it would be a local newspaper, but as divorce became more common, unless the details were of particular interest, after the First World War, particularly in towns and cities, divorce cases were covered in less and less detail if at all.

The National Archives has a research guide on divorce records, which tells you what records have survived and where they might be.
