No details are given as to why the petition was abandoned and there is no response from Sydney.
- In October 1910 Theresa again petitioned for a divorce from Sydney.
This time the divorce went the full distance with the Decree Nisi being issued on 8th May 1911 and Decree Absolute on 20th November 1911.
The document is a massive 407 pages long (many of which are repetitious) and for that reason a copy is not attached but the following abstract should suffice.
