Divorce records where other person is not known

Divorce records where other person is not known

Hello

I am researching my family tree and I have found out that my Maternal grandfather was married prior to marrying my nan. There marriage certificate says that his previous marriage was dissolved. I have no way of finding out the name of his wife before my nan.

Is there anyway I am able to find out more details to be able to source the divorce records?

Thanks Steve

If you know the state and county, try writing them for the divorce record. If you don't know, check the censuses to see where he lived both before and after marrying your grandmother.

Hi Steve-Do you know where Gramps was living? City, State? City hall or State Archives should have his marriages recorded. Also Draft registrations may show who was a contact person. Sometimes engagements and weddings get coverage in newspapers. Good Luck.
