Does a Marriage Certificate show "Divorced" as a status or does it revert to Bachelor/Spinster? I have a strong suspicion that my deceased father in law was divorced but without going to Kew ....... All relatives of that time are now deceased so have no one to ask. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome to Family Tree Forum
I guess it depends on when the cert was issued, I know that later ones.. 1970s have 'Previous Marriage dissolved' on them, what year are we talking please?
Might I add that we do permit deceased family member names on the forum, but if you have living ones that you require help with then could you please say in your post and then someone will offer via PM (private message) to help.
I know it doesnt pertain to the inital post as you have stated that they are dec'd, (just thought I'd add it though, so there is no confusion)Last edited by Darksecretz; 01-02-11, 12:33.Julie

For me, with family members who were divorced in the early 50's and remarried, on the wedding cert. it states divorced.

Actually come to think of it that might not be accurate - even though they were married under British rules, they weren't in Britain, but in a colony.
Ooh - just noticed, my 1000th post - do I get a gold star!Last edited by ozgirl; 01-02-11, 12:36.Linda

Just found the following on the Explore Genealogy website
From 1858-1952 a divorced groom would be listed as "the divorced husband of..." with the former wife's maiden name given. A divorced wife would have much the same listing.Elaine

I know the feeling of finding half siblings.
I can claim a few more than 2 (there is a football team's worth plus substitutes) but then again with a father like mine we could probably end up with enough for our own tournament.http://www.flickr.com/photos/50125734@N06/
