Lesley If you put what you are looking for in your thread title, it is helpful. As you are in Australia, I have bad news. The only way to find bmds after 1910 is to go on www 1837online. If you were in England you could check the GRO indexes on microfiche. As for divorce records, the J77 you quoted is a reference for documents at Kew (the National Archives, formerly the Public Records Office). The only way to see them is to go to Kew. But as it says on the website: ' To find whether there is a divorce record at The National Archives which may be of interest, search the Catalogue entering the surname as a keyword and J 77 as the series reference.' so at least you can find out if there is anything to see at Kew. nell |

No worries! A tip - from personal experience I have found you get a much better response if you have something emotionally appealing in your thread title like: aarrrggh! I can't find him! or going bonkers! nell |
