Title: Cochranes of Guernsey and Glasgow tobacco Lords
Post by: jennieb on Monday 01 November 10 10:12 GMT (UK)

Does anyone know whether the Cochranes of Guernsey, tobacconists James and John were related to Lord Provost Andrew Cochrane in Glasgow or connected in any way to his company, Cochrane, Murdoch and Co.?

Hi, there may be a connection.
James's one son, william, married Marie Le Prevost.  That is where the connection could be.
I am also trying to find out.
