Interesting coming across this on the net by chance. The Garvocks of Turclossie are related. My mother was Akexandria F Garvock. The David Garvock would therefore be my great grandad. I have a photo of him with my uncles David and Albert Garvock at Turclossie.
Hi,I have emailed the Building at Risk office for any information.

PitsligaLad33 You must surely know roughly which century -18th, 19th or 20th?
Just to nudge things in the right direction, Turclossie (you did mean Turclossie rather than Turcossie?), Craigmaud and New Pitsligo are in the parish of Tyrie, quite close to one another.
And for the record, there appear to be no records baptisms, banns or burials of G*rv*c* in Tyrie Parish Register. There are no births or deaths of G*rv*c* in Tyrie in the statutory records. There are two marriages: Margaret Cecilia Garvock to James Reid in 1934 and John Fraser Garvock to Mary Bella Elphinstone in 1935.
However it seems that Pitsligo was a separate registration district from Tyrie from 1855 to 1967, and New Pitsligo separate again from 1859 to 1967. Fortunately a search in the index using 'Pitsligo' also finds the ones in 'New Pitsligo' as well. This contains 14 births, 7 marriages and 9 deaths of Garvocks in (New) Pitsligo registration districts.
Looking at the census indexes for G*rv*c* in (New) Pitsligo, there are none at all in 1841 or 1851, one in 1861, 6 in 1871, 3 in 1881, 6 in 1891, 4 in 1901, and 5 in 1911.
In Tyrie, there's one in 1841, and 5 in 1851, but in those years New Pitsligo was included in Tyrie.
The 1841 and 1851 ones in Tyrie, and the 1861, 1871 and 1881 in (New) Pitsligo, are mostly one family, the head of which is William Tyrie, born in Dundee about 1806.
I suggest that you go to www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, register, and hunt about the indexes as I have done.
You can see transcriptions of some of the census at https://freecen1.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl. Note that from 1841 to 1851 the family were living in High Street, New Pitsligo and in 1881 they were at Hindhillock. This is two or three miles south-west of New Pitsligo.
There is a birth of David Ritchie Garvock in 1861, parents William Garvock and Ann Glennie, and a death of a 75-year-old David Garvock in 1937. Is this the one you are looking for?
Try www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk a pay to view site. Plenty of church records in the county and statutory records from 1855.

You will need to post some details for others to know where to begin to look i.e. info. of David's BMD & anything else known as well as exactly what you're looking for?
