I've just recently found out that my g'grandfather's first wife, whom he divorced from, more than likely killed herself and never remarried. As far as I can gather she kept their son and for some reason another child, poss a daughter moved as far away as possible with him. This of course is firing up my curiosity even futher, if only I could narrow it down by ten years ! Does anyone know, in the early 1900's , how long you had to separate for , before you could divorce?
