Unless it was reported in the press it is highly unlikely you would find any details. The National archives have some but you would need to check their website.

I don’t think divorce was allowed as soon as two years after marriage in those days. Unless it happened in the US?

The survival of records of UK divorces after 1937 is less than 0.2%

looks like theodore remarried but no date of marriage appears on ancestry

if erikah is right maybe marriage was annulled

Date of Theodore's second marriage - but no marriage record online.

That's assuming this is the same Theodore M Cook.

Annulment or Divorce from Margaret G "Peg" GOODMAN
1947 • , Miami, Kansas, USA

Date info is from a letter written by Beatrice Virginia COOK (Ted's sister) to their father dated 17 May 1947, so the divorce/annulment took place prior to that date. Virgil WAYMAN, Ted's cousin, accompanied him as his witness when he filed.
