	Very few divorce records for that time have been kept From the national archives site The survival rate of divorce case files is: 1858-1927: almost 100% 1928-1937: 80% After 1937: less than 0.2% No case files survive from the district registries set up in 1927.

	You might be able to apply for a copy of the Decree Absolute. It would cost £45 http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/divorce/
