In addition, "Special points to bear in mind" on the page needs some clarification - You need very accurate information. I suggest you make sure you have the marriage certificate in the first place: Quote: The NAS staff will only search for a case for which the year, the name of the pursuer, and preferably also of the defender, are provided. We will not make speculative searches of the indexes on the basis of vague information. If you only know the name of the defender, remember that as some indexes only list pursuers, you will need to make a speculative search in person or by proxy. The NAS can copy divorce records, if their condition allows, but cannot produce 'certified' extracts. This can only be done by the court. End Quote: Reference to "certified extracts" in this case means a document with an official seal which is the only evidence which can be produced for court purposes. You will need to hire a researcher if you cannot attend yourself. Hope this helps.
