Hi,I've consulted the 2 Marnoch Kirkyard books produced by the Aberdeen & N.East Family History Society & although there are 4 graves with the surname Tocher mentioned, none of them refer to your John Tocher.

Bear in mind that the ANESFHS booklets are lists of inscriptions on gravestones, and that many people who were buried never had a gravestone.
I also checked the list of burial ground records in the care of Aberdeenshire Council, just in case there might be a surviving book from Marnoch. However no such books are listed on their web site http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/bereavement/grounds_list.asp so it looks as if the Marnoch records, if any, have not survived :(

Hi DeeJayPeeCee
I am very interested in your reference to John Tocher d.1855. His daughter Jane b. 1976 in forgue parish married John Chalmers,both of whom are direct ancestors of mine. See my website, http//homepage.eircom.net/~decfam I would be interested in corresponding privately. I have marnoch kirkyard booklet. As others have said there is no stone recorded.
