Thanks jonw65,
I managed to find a device to view the Nairn vs Nairn link on FS. It looks as though a judge agreed to hear the case but I can't tell if there was a result. I think I need the proceedings link which I can't seem to access.
Also this document does not mention the first names or grounds for the divorce application, so there must be some other document in the Court of Arches papers that contains this information for it to have got into the catalogue.
My transcript:
