Divorced 1955 - A petition for divorce was filed by Ronald in 1954:
"TO JESSIE GOTHAM, respondent, late of 95 Roman Road, Motherwell, Lanark, Scotland. A Petition for Divorce has been filed against you. Upon an application by letter to the District Registrat, District Registry of the High Court, Pearl Assurance House, Royal Parade, Plymouth, a copy of the Petition will be sent. If within one month hereafter no application has been made nor appearance entered the Court may hear the Petition and pronounce judgment.
E.S. DOBELL,
District Registrar."

Whether or not Jessie responded to this, Ronald remarried in 1955 so must have got the divorce he was seeking.
