From my g. uncles army records (1902 - 1914) I found that he was married in 1909 and had a son born a year later in 1910. However, also on this army record is an entry which says "Wife struck off ....followed by 2 words I cannot read" and the date 9.8.12. I then was lucky enough to get his WW1 army record and this gives details of another marriage in Inverness in 1914 and also names his son born in 1910. I spent £6 on the Scotland's people website and found a marriage certificate for him giving his status as "divorced". (well worth the money!!) I thought it was very difficult for people to divorce at this time, and he certainly was not a wealthy man - just your average ag. lab. type. I have been in touch with the Divorce Absolute Searchline at 1st Avenue High Holborn, and they will do a search over a 10 year period for £20. Does anyone know what my chances are of there being a record of his divorce, and would I get much information for my £20? thanks Jean
