Your information about Tobias Bauchop (or Bachop, etc) is very interesting, Clackmannan Person, not least your pronunciation of the surname, which isn't one I've heard before.
Tobias junior was my 5x great-grandfather, and I knew that his father was Tobias, the architect and the designer /owner of Bauchop House in Alloa. But I didn't know that his wife was Margaret Lapsley or that their initials were engraved in the house. A plan I had to visit Alloa this summer and see for myself didn't come off unfortunately.
You mention that Clackmannan Field Studies Society has recorded inscriptions in Greenside cemetery. Are these pre-1855 inscriptions? I have the Scottish Genealogical Society's book of Clackmannanshire inscriptions, which includes Greenside cemetery, but they seem to be by and large after 1855 when records became mandatory by law. I was wondering if the FSS held copies for sale as they don't appear in the FSS website's list of publications - unless Memento Mori (price £0.50) is what you are meaning.
