    1. Fw: 1895/1900 timeframe: divorce/annulment question

    3. My brick wall is beginning to come down, but it's slow going on this one. I have an ancestor whose marriage I've now confirmed, who is listed in the directories in the time frame of 1887 - 1894. He seems to just disappear after 1894, his wife is listed as married in the 1900 census but widowed in 1910. I have not found him in Philly, but I find someone with the same name, age, birth place in another state married. One possibility that hadn't occurred to me before is divorce or annulment. Would there be a record if this was the case? If so, where would I look? Also, for a husband who seems to simply disappear in this time frame, where would you look and what other possibilities should be entertained?
