    In Scotland they are searchable in the Archives , so I assume it's the same in England.

    Try here for England and Wales The National Archives | The Catalogue | Research Guides

    And here for Scotland

      I think the England and Wales ones on TNA site might stop before the date you want. Can't remember the exact date they go up to.

        Just checked, and the National Archives (England & Wales) only has a very few after 1937 so if it was definitely during WW2 you are unlikely to find it on there:

        After 1937 only a very small sample was kept which we have in series J 77. To find whether there is a divorce record at The National Archives which may be of interest, search the Catalogue entering the surname as a keyword and J 77 as the series reference

        If it was before 1938 then it should be on their site:
