Divorce

Thanks for your help.
So no chance really.

Depends on what you want the record for - if you want to prove they divorced, it is quite straightforward, but can cost, if you want the details of why, then it is date dependant, and would need a visit to TNA.

Because of the cost of the searches, many professional researchers rarely order divorce decrees unless they need it for legal purposes e.g. in a probate case perhaps.

It's possible that the new divorce legislation in 1937 prompted the divorce you are curious about:-

Matrimonial Causes Act 1937
The Act extended the grounds for divorce to include desertion for over three years, cruelty and incurable insanity. Herbert's Act led to a significant increase in the annual number of divorces, though the process was still expensive.
