Is it possible to see marriage/divorce/birth records after 2015?

I was taken into care at 11, and split from my siblings. I don't want contact with my parents... There's a lot of water under that bridge, and I'm much, much safer out of it. But there's been a lot of focus on family this year, and I've got married and am now TTC... and I've found myself wondering what happened to my family a lot.

From conversations with social services, I believe that my older sister has two children who may or may not be with her. I think my parents divorced around 2015 and my dad went on to remarry a few years later, and I believe a younger sister of mine may also now have children. I'm not sure about any of my brothers, or what happened to my mother.

I've signed up for Ancestry and can find all of our birth records, my parent's original marriage record, etc... but nothing more recent. Is there a way to find that info, or is this something I just need to forget?

www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Or search UKBMD in google and then pick the area closest to you. I will say that lots of regions don't have the full records online but will let you know which are available.

Check out the local council website, in the northwest our records are held in Central library and can be accessed any time for free, and cost £10 to make a photocopy or take picture of the info.
