  • Divorces on ancestry

    Hi

    The BMD list on ancestry.co.uk cites "marriages and Divorce" but I can't seem to find any divorces!

    I'm looking for a recent one (1957+) - should I give up or am I missing something?

    Many thanks
    :D Charney Jo

    You might find the research guides from the National Archives useful

      Thanks very much Elaine.

      So if they don't exist, why does ancestry list 'Marriages and Divorces'? Hmmmm ...

        Not sure where you are finding the reference to Divorces on Ancestry.

          There might be some USA records. There are some USA (individual state) divorce databases on some sites.
