I haven't been able to find divorce records despite the fact that there is a category listed in the search boxes

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

There are some divorces on the National Archives site but it depends on what time scale you are looking at. This is what the site says about the number of records available:-

1858-1927: almost 100%
1928-1937: 80%
After 1937 : less than 0.2%

I can't say that I have ever found a divorce record so I hope you have better luck.
