Divorces can be searched here: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/divorce.htm.
But no case files will exists, as they are destroyed after 20 years.

A search for Pauline Drew and Pauline Davis drew a blank.

Hi,

Although the divorce file will be destroyed there will still be a copy of the Decree Absolute;  I think a search costs £60; follow the link in KGarrad's post.  The National Archives holds divorce records up to 1938.
