Does anyone know if i can find out why a marriage was annulled?

It was between 1940 and 1955 in Glasgow Area, i know the females name but do not know the male name, marriage occurred pre 1945

Hi david
I'm not at all sure what happens with annulments, but have you looked at the original marriage entry?

I just wonder if, as happens with a divorce, you would find something noted on there which would lead you to another document.

e.g. see http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/files/rm1text.pdf which implies that a decree of anullment would have been generated.

Best wishes

Hi David

need to go to Edinburgh to get it

Park Circus in Glasgow would probably be nearer for you. Make a long list of "to do"s, book your seat well in advance (as a wee Christmas present to yourself!

) and make a day of it!

Hi David,

I've come across a couple of annulments in my tree and both were down to Bigamy. The most recent was in the 50's when my aunt's second marraige was annulled.
