No record of decree absolute

[AnythingGoesAllThroughTheNight]

I am trying to find a record of my grandma's divorce from her first husband and I cannot find a record of the decree absolute.

I have found a newspaper article from February 1966 stating that the decree nisi was granted but I cannot find any record of the decree absolute when I search ancestry.

Does anybody know what else I can do before applying through gov.uk for them to search?

Could it be that they never had one? You’d be surprised by the amount of people these days who think they’re divorced but have never applied for that final order.

Divorce records are not on ancestry. They are court records and not accessible by the public

You’ll need to apply for a copy of the decree from the court, from memory it was a London address
