   Dispensation for Catholic Marriage   
   18 May 22 14:31:34   
   
   From: NemoNews@hotmail.co.uk   
      
   When Sara Bloor married Norbert Leyland at St Oswald's Church, Liverpool   
   on 14 August 1920 (image at Ancestry) the priest wrote "disp. obt. <2   
   words or abbreviations> Rel." under the surnames in the left margin.   
      
   I know that the first two words mean a Dispensation was obtained, but   
   I'm not sure what the following 2 words are or what the whole phrase means.   
      
   Can anyone help, please?
