Bit vague but my Ggrandfather Leonard Rolfe and Ggrandmother Hilda Annie (nee Kimbell) divorced in the 1920's I believe (but it may have been later). He subsequently remarried and I would be grateful if someone were able to find his second marriage. Sorry I have no other details I am afraid. |

There are 55 marriages for the name Leonard Rolfe after his first marriage in Eastbourne in 1914, so without more details it would be impossible to decide which was his second marriage. |

I don't suppose his age would help? He was born in 1885 in the US |

No I have had no luck with him apart from his first marriage, I have the certificate for that but nothing else. He was not a very forthcoming person in life I am told and seems that way in death too! No death certificate either I am 99% sure they divorced but I believe that is very costly to research. Any help would be very gratefully received. |

I have checked the national archives and cannot see a divorce, howevere the files are stated to be almost 100% complete to 1927, so there is a chance yours has slipped thru. |

This would be the 1930 census for the Leonard Rolfe arriving later that year, I think. |

Just posting stuff as I find it, we can perhaps eliminate what's not valid later. |
