Good Morning All,

Can anyone tell me what divorce record dates are available to view please.

The marriage took place in Reigate on 29th Aug 1897 between Evelyn FRIZEL and Russell William THORNDALE.

Russell remarried in June 1924 to Florence Gertrude HOLDEN, in East Grinstead
and yes it states on their marriage cert he is the Divorced husband of Evelyn.

Not sure if the 100 year rule is in place ???

Many thanks
Sally
