Could someone please look up a possible divorce for me - Donald L Usher married in May 1942 to Winifred J Tootill in Shropshire. Winifred died in 1982.

I found Donald L Usher married in 1966 to Phyllis L Rhodes in Shropshire.
Also who was Phyllis married to previously? Children?

Thanks

It's unlikely that you will find divorce papers online but you could try here

Do you have his marriage certificate to Rhodes to check his marital status?

Thank you for your replies. I don't know anything about Phyllis and I'm oresuming Donald was divorced before he married for the second time.

Hi Joan.
,I know the last child of Winifred and Donald was born in 1955 so presume any divorce between them would be from that year onwards to 2nd marriage in 1966

Two children which you can find on freebmd

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

First child born 1951 (Born Neath so not too sure)

Second child born 1966 and is also registered under Usher

This could be first husbands death

Name: Albert Rhodes
Birth Date: abt 1914
Date of Registration: Sep 1957
Age at Death: 43
Registration district: Wellington
Inferred County: Shropshire
Volume: 9a
Page: 199

The child born 1966 looks to have a tree on here so maybe you could ask her as Donald was her father
