Can anyone tell me if when a man remarries in 1929 after divorce should this show on the marriage certificate.

Many Thanks

TT

To my understanding nowadays that would count as his "marital status" - whether there has been a change in law since 1929 I don't know

There is always the point that the registrar can only trust and record what they are told - if they are told single/widowed then...-

It does sound like a lot of money for a piece of paper - can you tell me what the 10 year look up is as I have never heard of it before

Sorry to be full of questions but if he remarried in 1929 why are you going from 1923 to 1933 and not 1919 to 1929 - or do they only start on years that end in 3?

The last entry on the divorce papers was Dec 1922 so it was not issued before that and I welcome any questions you may have

Hi TT

Ancestry seem to have divorce records. You could try posting a look up, or if you don't want all and sundry to see the names you could ask if someone will do a look up for you via pm's.

I would , but not subscribed. You can use ancestry in library for free, if you can get on pc as kids are on hols at the moment,
