Banffshire / Re: James Tocher Mortlach, Elgin, Banff
« on: Wednesday 21 September 11 09:03 BST (UK)  »
All Geographical info much appreciated.

 I cannot trace a James Tocher around 1810/1820 in the catholic parish records.

 I have seen the Grange extract online on Scotlandspeople for 1817  it does tie up with the indexed detail. 

Unfortunately he would not appear on a census as he left Scotland in 1833/34 and served in the Army in India till his death in 1866.

The dates of birth that I have to work on is 1813 and 1816.  The search so far has shown James Tocher with fathers called James:  Old Machar, 1813.  Newhills 1815.  Grange 1817, Forgue 1817,
Oyne 1818 and Rayne 1819.

No births in 1813 or 1816.  This is all I have to go on so far.

GDub, You have a point.  According to his army record he put  Town, Parish and County of origin down as Mortlach.

GDub, Mortlach was the place he put when enlisting. Grange and Mortlach are in different areas I believe. ty

Ta for the link, I would like to trace his parents and siblings as well.  All I know is that his fathers name was James.

Carol hi and thank you, 1813 date was the year he gave the army on enlisting in 1834.   He could have of course made himself  older in order to join.  Am not sure what the minimum age was back then.  The 1816 was on his marriage details.

  Am looking for my ancestors.  James Tocher, his father was also called James. Have two years of birth for him, 1813 and 1816.  Neither of these check out.  He joined the British Army/East India Co. in 1933 and served in India till his death in 1866.   Help needed please. Ty.
