Hi wildgoose,
I'm getting a tad puzzled here. Hope you don't mind if I try to clarify my understanding.
Your original post referred to an RCE annotation (1898) to an 1868 marriage. The RCE related to an 1898 divorce.
You quoted the RCE and posed a very general query - not a query about how a miner could afford a divorce but (emphasis added).
... Does anyone know were I could find more details ...
You now say (emphasis added):
... I didn't get a response to my original posting so I assumed, like so many of my postings, that no interest had been shown. ...
But .......
Your original post was timed at 13 Jan 09, 07:28.
On that very same day, 13 Jan 09, at 07:46 I responded (pretty speedy response time, eh!) suggesting that it would be worth contacting the National Archives of Scotland to see if they held any records - and I gave a link to the NAS Guide to Divorce Records.
And it seems that,
on that very same day, NellW posted providing
"more details" in the form of two reports - but that apparently her post was removed (she says this in her post timed at 13 Jan 09, 19:48) ...
There were further responses on 10 & 11 March. When these came up in my 'new replies' list, I had sufficient "interest" to check out the 1901 census and found a record which was a little confusing. So I posted a
further response mentioning that the parties to the divorce seemed to be living together in 1901 ...
You say:
... I still haven't found out anymore information than was in the original posting 
I have no idea why the "more details" posted by NellW were removed (and I have no interest in them) but, if you would like to have more information, it would seem to be a good idea to PM NellW and ask whether she could PM the information she found to you.
Best of luck with your research.
Kind regards,
JAP
