As to point out the fact further this is the transciption (I think) of the John MacEwan / Agnes Smith marriage on Ancestry!
It is also indexed on Scotlands People. I don’t suppose it will give more information than the note of the irregular marriage in the Session minutes. Maybe an occupation for John?

Photograph of a procession of the Fleshers (butchers) in the 1890s. This was one of the last Trade processions of the Incorporations of Dumfries. I am guessing one of my relatives would have been in this shot! Also noted a pub in Dumfries called the Fleshers Arms

There they are, all in their striped butchers' aprons, but rather comically with bowler hat perched on top of head.  :)
