The Common Room / Divorce in the Uk in the 1940s
« on: Thursday 05 March 15 20:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

My late Auntie's first marriage was 1942 in the UK. She subsequently re married in 1947 in Canada. I have the Parish Register entry for her first marriage and a copy of her second marriage which took place in Canada. The certificate of her second marriage states that she was divorced.  I sent a request off to the Decree Absolute Searches in London and it has come back 'No Trace'. The search was for a 10 year period between 1942 and 1951.  Are there any other searches which can be completed to find out if a divorce took place.

Would the negative trace indicate that she was not divorced.

Is there any way the marriage could have been annulled other than a divorce ?

I do know that Stafford Records Office have the Quarter Sessions books going back to at least the early 1700s as I sometimes go to a group which helps to transcribe them.  You could go onto Stafford Records Office Web-site and see if any of the Quarter Sessions are on there as some of them are searchable but I don't know what is on there at present.

Denbighshire Lookup Requests / Re: Mount Pleasant Inn, Broughton(Moss?)

Hi Barjo


The book is called Broughton Then and Now by John Bagshaw, copyright was Broughton Local History Group 1993.  There is a Chapter (Chapter 7) called Inns, Taverns and Beerhouses and a map with a 'key' which lists where all the pubs were.  This is not the book my Uncle wrote.  That one was called Moss and Pentre Memories by Wally Evans 1985.  My Mum thinks only a handful of copies were printed.

I shall have a look for the book over the weekend.  I'm pretty sure it's called Memories of Moss and Pentre by my Uncle, Wally Evans.  I don't know if it's in print now as he wrote it in the early 1980's. 

Who was your Father/Mother? as my Mum said she knew most of Mr and Mrs Wynne's children as she was in school with them.

The Mount Pleasant Pub was off Bryn-Y -Gaer Road, where St Paul's Church is.  It was a little dirt track right at the bottom of the road on the left hand side.  My Mum remembers a Mrs Wynne owning it around about 1930-1935.  I have a few local history books about the area as I originate from Moss but now living in Stafford.  My Uncle wrote one quite a number of years ago and he mentions some of the pubs in that so I'll see if I can find it.
