hi, if you google newspaperarchive.com/daily-court-review/1927-07-21/page4 there is something there about saurey vs saurey divorce

Hi, thanks for replying.

Interesting find. Only problem is the couple in question divorced  in 1883 

However, the couple did supposedly have a child seven years after their divorce, in 1890. So i don't really know what went on there  I'm hoping the divorce record may shine some light, and see if it's plausible they got back together to have a child, though this is questionable!
