You can get a copy of the decree absolute: The Principal Registry of the Family Division (PRFD) also has responsibility for maintaining the index of all Decrees Absolute (Divorce and Annulments) in England and Wales. The Court Service Principal Registry of the Family Division Decree Absolute Searches Room 2.03 First Avenue House 42-49 High Holborn London WC1V 6NP 020 7947 7016 or 7017 CRONE!!!!! I can't believe it says above they do the Annulments as well!!!!!!! Off to find out about gran's bigamy with the army officer again!! LOL Merry |

Oops forgot to say....there is a charge for the decree absolute (and it may not tell you a great deal - but something!) There are rather a lot of websites. Suggest you Google part of the address I gave you! Merry |

Thanks Merry - for those who may be interested - I applied abvout 2 yrs ago for a copy - no info really - just the fulll names of the couple - no grounds mentioned - however I was fortunate - when I rang I spoke to the man who had looked it up and he recalled the grounds - these are listed on the Decree Nisi and I do not believe one can get a copy of that. But that copy cost me over £20 - cannot recall the exact figure - would only send for if you wish confirmation of a divorce as I am chasing at the moment - otherwise it is a lot of money for little info.

Oooh Merry! I cant believe that! After all our shuffling around and asking Vicars and what-not - there IS a list of Annulments! Whoopee! Bet it isnt searchable though. I have not read the News of the World since 1972, when I parted company with the peasant who had been brought up on it! OC |
