Hi Monica
Good news! When I asked someone from Scotlandspeople (who had responded to me previously) I got the earlier response I posted. A couple of days before I emailed the person above I lodged the same question through Scotlandspeople general email desk and got this (Ive just placed an order for it) -
Thank you for your enquiry of 13 September concerning an annotation on the record of marriage for Ann Maule and John Black which refers to an entry in Kirk Session minutes dated 1 December 1840.
This annotation relates to the parish of South Leith Kirk Session minutes rather than those of Tulliallan.
I have located an entry in Edinburgh, South Leith Kirk Session Minutes, reference CH2/716/35, pages 90-91. The entry, dated 1 December 1840, notes that Ann Maule or Black had requested an extract of her marriage and found that it had been erroneously recorded in the register that her father’s name was Thomas instead of John, and of Leith instead of Kincardine. The Clerk had then inserted the correction in the margin of the register and given a corrected extract. It also notes that Ann Maule had also given the Clerk a letter requesting that the Session allow him to register the births of her two children by her lawful husband, John Black, in the books of this parish where she was married, although they were born in South America (Africa).
