David Garvock

[Tyrian Terror]

Turclossie is just north of New Pitsligo by a couple of miles. Practically on my doorstep. As said my mother Alexandria F Easton was a Garvock. Her other siblings were :David, Albert, Cecilia, 'Tony', John and there was another sibling who's name escapes me. She died as an infant in 1918. John F Garvock died Aug 1940 on a troop ship.

Davy Garvock was my great granny’s second husband. Her first husband was a Farquhar. I’m descended from them. I met David and Albert at Turclossie in about 1996.

PS to my earlier reply about my great granny who was Davy Garvock’s second wife. I have a photo of the two of them plus several children outside a house, possibly Turclossie but not sure. I also have a photo of Davy and Albert, definitely at Turclossie, mid90s.

Sorry. Mistake. Davy Garvock was my great granny’s second husband. I don’t know if he had been married before.

Hello, Annie. You’re right about Alexander Farquhar, my great grandfather. I’ve often wondered where he came from. Can you go any further back with him? FQ

Go to www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk and view the marriage certificate. It will tell you the names of the couple's parents including their mothers' maiden surnames, and also whether or not they were deceased.

According to Family Search Alexander Farquhar and Jessie Mutch had at least four children:
Alexander, born 12 August 1870, New Deer
Ann, born 24 February 1872, New Deer
John, born 17 July 1873, New Pitsligo
Margaret, born 7 December 1874, New Pitsligo

The 1881 census says that the family were at Backhill of Nittansheads, Parish of Tyrie:
Alexander, 43, born New Deer
Jessie, 33, born New Deer
Alexander, 10
Anne, 8
John, 7
Margaret, 6
Jessie, 4
Adam, 3
Isabella, 2
Elizabeth, 5 months
All listed as born New Deer, except Elizabeth who was born in Tyrie. (New Pitsligo is in the parish of Tyrie.)

You can and should view the original of this and other censuses at Scotland's People (SP), where you can also view the originals of other Scottish birth/baptism, banns/marriages and deaths.

Happy hunting!

Thanks, Forfarian. Adam was my grandfather. If anyone’s interested, I have the names of some of the farms where his siblings worked or settled. Also places connected with the Mutches around New Deer.

Not claiming to know this is correct... just saw it on the Muches site which I use often as I have Mutch relations in Aberdeenshire.
