It may find it helpful  if you read the information on the National Archives website.

The divorce certificate is for my grand parents.
Sidney or Sydney Gent d 1974/5
Olive Ada Gent nee Osborne d 1987
I have tried looking at National Archives, no joy just went round in circles.
Thanks as always
Carol.

Still together in 1939 so records are not likely to be available.

From the link posted by Jebber
4.1 What proportion of case files survive?
The survival rate of divorce case files is:

1858-1927: almost 100%
1928-1937: 80%
After 1937: less than 0.2%
