Hello List, I need to see if a divorce was ever granted to a couple who married in Southampton, 3 Nov 1914. Does the PRO maintain divorce data? Where does one go to answer a question such as this? FYI, the persons married were Alfred Richard GROVES and Elsa (Elsie) Rosa HAAS. Thanks MEJ in California
Hi MEJ? For more on Divorce see :- http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=53 Go to http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ Select The catalogue Enter the name in the top box and J77 in the lower box (remember it would usually be GROVES v GROVES rather than her maiden name) Divorce was still a fairly expensive business, many simply didn't use the paperwork and went their own ways Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hello List, > I need to see if a divorce was ever granted to a couple who married > in Southampton, 3 Nov 1914. > Does the PRO maintain divorce data? > Where does one go to answer a question such as this? > FYI, the persons married were Alfred Richard GROVES and Elsa (Elsie) Rosa > HAAS. > Thanks > MEJ in California
