Completed - Divorce
« on: Friday 19 September 08 14:20 BST (UK) »
Looking for some advice on tracking down a divorce in the last quarter of the 1800's (believed to be England).

I've got one source suggesting searching TNA in J77 and J78, but also a reference text published by what was the PRO (current editions TNA) suggesting that it is done by application to the Principle Registry of the Family Division in High Holborn, London.

I don't get anywhere with a search on TNA and no clear indication of who to contact, how or the cost when I look at the Court website.

Might somebody be able to advise on the best approach please?

Many thanks

James, Driscoll, Collins, Murphy (all end up in Ireland far too quickly)

Apologies, I could have done that myself. Just too close to the problem to think rationally I fear.

Many thanks
