Is there any way I can trace a divorce all I know is my g uncle George Victor Wells divorced his wife Bessie Wells about 1960 in I think Marylebone. If anyone can help me I would be grateful.

Not really.

“Case files are now destroyed 20 years after the divorce.”

Look in a local newspaper for the time to see if anything was published?
