Last year: the list (As was the QLD list) was most helpful in assisting me to find a family Divorce through the Newspapers. I was then referred to the NSW State Records - Divorce List, but: although I know the Divorce took place 1955; I cannot find reference to on the Divorce List and wonder if there is perhaps a Cut Off date and that's why I cannot find on the Divorce List? There is no problem, as I do have copies of the Newspaper Clippings re the Divorce, as well as copies of the file thereon, but wonder why I cannot find reference to the Divorce on the Divorce List? Regards: Robert KEMSLEY

I've found the answer by going to State records Home Page and searching there; finding the records are only from 1873 to 1923. Far to early for me. Regards: Robert KEMSLEY

Robert, NSW State Records do have divorces on their online index past 1923, just not under the normal "Divorce" heading. Go to home page http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/ click on "Archives Investigator" (in the box "The State Archives") choose "simple search" under "keyword" enter "[name] divorce" and press enter. Certainly listed to 1945 but sorry, don't remember how far the index now goes. This system also works for" [name] probate" as more has been added to the index. Alison :-) Sydney Oz PS: I just tried this search to see what the cut-off date was - site seems to be down at the moment ------------------------------ On 6.05.2012 8:41 AM, KEMSLEY, Robert N.
