Thank you. 

I'm 90% certain this is my family, however, if the year is 1856, it's impossible, as Robert Dixon died in 1841, but all other details fit. :-\

 I think it's more likely to be 1836

Added -where did you get it from?

By trying to work out the direction of the pen strokes, I think it could be 1836.

This is actually confirmed by the images at Ancestry:
(a) this document is filed/filmed near others that are more clearly 1836
(b) there's also an image of a register book where there's no doubt at all about the year
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

Just been looking at the Ancestry image - def 12th November 1836

Added - and, as it was Gretna, it is most likely Simon Lang, as Geoff and I suggested .
