Hi wondering if anybody could help me in my search for Kenneth Arnold Griffin got a little information but not sure if it would help with possible address or even any known address. He was born in 1941 and Married 1963 to Joyce Holloway in Birmingham they then had two children Janice Elizabeth Griffin 1967 and Bryan Kenneth Griffin 1970. Joyce and Kenneth separated but I don't think we're ever properly divorced and Joyce has since passed. Would love any kind of information at all thank you in advance :-)

Well he seems to have stayed in the Birmingham area and remarried in 1988

If it is him they are in Solihull to 2014

He doesn't show as Arnold second name and there are other Kenneth A Griiffin in the records

Could be him because of the area

Will PM the address

Shirley would you know if there is a divorce record for Joyce and Kenneth as Joyce didn't pass till 2000 so I would be able to rule that one out if they weren't divorced sorry to be a pain just trying to think of anything to help

Thanks for the link to the site unfortunately I'm having a bit of difficulty using it I have tried putting both names in and nothing comes up I then tried searching for someone who I know has definitely been divorced and it still came up with nothing relevant I'm most definitely probably using it wrong any tips would be greatly appreciated

Perhaps you didn't notice the dates given on the link I posted above, Amanda.
They are all too early for the divorce you are hoping to find.

The link I posted gives a further link to the gov.uk site, where you can apply for a copy of a decree absolute - if there is one, and if you can give enough relevant information when you apply:

https://www.gov.uk/copy-decree-absolute-final-order

You cannot search online for such a recent divorce.
