The aim of the project was to transcribe and analyse the records of all cases of divorce, separation and annulment in the Edinburgh Commissary Court between 1684 and 1832 (the period for which registers of extracted decreets are available). The data consist of transcriptions of the gist of all successful and unsuccessful cases of divorce, separation, nullity and simple adherence in the process papers and registers of decreets for the Edinburgh Commissary Court between 1684 and 1832. Topics covered include marital breakdown and domestic violence.
