    I am seeking the divorce records for my great-grandparents. They were Robert Emmett Lashley (b. 1871, OH) and Virginia Irvine Snyder (b. 1879, VA). They were married in 1896. They were living in Birmingham in 1900, along with my grandmother, Virginia Cameron Lashley (b. 1897). Family history says that they divorced in the early 1900s, perhaps before 1905. Do you still have those divorce records?

    We can certainly try and lookup your potential divorce records but we’ll need some more information first. Did your divorce take place in America or Jamaica? If the divorce took place in Jamaica then we won’t be able to access those divorce records. We only have access to records in the United States. If this divorce did take place in America, from an American marriage, then we can lookup those divorce records for you. If you can also provide her age this will help us refine the results.
