You might be able to apply for a copy of the Decree Absolute. It would cost £45

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.

I'd like to find a divorce notice from 1950, but don't know how to go about it, thanks.
