Jill Was wondering if it was a copy of the Divorce Extract that you were looking for? Present day Divorce Extracts are sent to the General Registry Office in Edinburgh & I believe are matched up with the Marriage Certificate (if the couple were married in Scotland). You might be able to get some advice from them. In those days the actual Divorce would have taken place at the Court of Session in Edinburgh I would think. Caroline

Researching:
Mulgrew/Milgrew in Glasgow; Tannahill in Glasgow & Renfrewshire mainly Paisley; Canning in Paisley

Jill you can try http://www(.)dswebhosting.info/NAS Search Fill in Surname under 'any text' and enter the year. You may be lucky and get a reference for the divorce, but this will then have to be ordered from NAS Good luck Liz
