G'day everyone, The Stromness Parish Registers records:- 1st July 1802 James Smith, Blacksmith in Stromness, and Margaret Flett, were married by dispatch by the Rev'd Mr Wm Clouston. Can anyone please tell me what is the meaning the "married by dispatch". Many thanks David Armstrong Maylands, Western Australia Researching Stewart, Baikie, Heddle, Malcomson, Stout, Gray, Cromarty, Oman, Anderson, Sutherland
