Midlothian / Re: Archibald COCHRANE / John COCHRANE Edinurgh 1800s
« on: Sunday 07 July 13 23:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have that family in my Tree and I am doing this for A Cochrane descendent in Australia so they must be related somehow. I  think that Archibald and Margaret Cochrane's parents are William and Margaret Rea. I don't have a certificate for proof but the dates fit and names of children fit. I will try and make a file od what Ihave so far and email it to you and we can maybe help each other fill in some gaps.

I will try to do it tomorrow.

Sorry yes. Archibald married Margaret Linton in 1804 and John married Agnes (Annie) Grant 12/5/1827 and on her son  Alexander's certificate she is Deceased

Most of them were marble cutters and masons or stone sculptures. there is a piece on the web about 2 brothers that went to Canada and made names for themselves doing sculptures on buildings etc but they only gave one brothers name and no details where they were actually born.

I can concentrate now the tennis is over lol

Alexander Cochrane married Margaret Linton on 18/2/1804 and on the marriage certificate she is listed as Annie Cochrane nee Grant (Deceased)

Are you researching the same family as I am? I am doing this for a friend in Australia

Thanks for remonding me, I've just come in and I forgot to put the TV on. Heatwave LOL. it's 30 degrees here in Norfolk.

I wouldn't have thought she would have left her children but maybe she met a man and ran off, it's been happening for years lol

She could have got re-married and not been able to have the children. Some of them went to America when they grew up and some went to Australia so maybe she went with them.

cheers

Thanks yes I do have this info. Ann was born Agnes but it was common in Scotland then to use the name Ann or Annie. On Alexander's marriage certificate she calls herself Annie. I believe she died young as did her husband John, he did in 1844 of inflamation to the Kidneys age 34. He was a marble cutter so that would have been a factor. John's Parents are Archibald Cochrane and Margaret Linton. I am struggling to find their birth records and the children's. Apparently it wasn't uncommon for parents not to register the birth's of their children as they had to pay and in large families they couldn't afford it.

Thanks for your message

Hi,

I have found a death for John Cochrane 1844 Edinburgh, he died of Inflamation of the Kidneys age 34. This is not uncommon as there would have been dust from the marble they worked with. Annie Grant was born Agnes, this also was common for Agnes to be called Annie, I haven't found a death for her yet. They were married 12/5/1827 North Leith Edinburgh Midlothian Scotland.

I am researching this for a Cochrane that lives in Buxton, Queensland, I wonder if we are researching for people in the same family? Have you uploaded your tree to Ancestry as a public tree? I have a membership at present so I would be able to look and we could compare what we have so far. The amercian Cochrane's went to Ohio and some were Marble cutters there I will send you some details later as there is quite a bit. There is a public tree on Ancestry for Robert Cochrane b 1829 but they have a different wife for John, I contacted them but they said ther's was correct but I'm not so sure. If it is the correct Robert he then went to NZ. The plot thickens!!

More Later

Regards
Terri (not my given name either lol)

Hi, I am researching the Cochrane Family for descendants in Australia. I have come against the same as you with John Cochrane and Agnes Grant. Alexander went to Australia with is family. His marriage certificate shows parents as John and Annie Grant. I have 1841 Census showing her as Ann and they live with Archibald and Margaret (Linton I believe) but on the 1851 Census the children are living with the Grandparents and no parents listed so I think they died young but I can find no record of their deaths either. They were a family of Marble masons and Sculptures and said to be realted to the earls of Dundonlad and the Barons Lamingtons but I am struggling to find a connection without the records for Joh and Agnes. if you find anything I would be grateful for your info.
