Lanarkshire / Re: Cochrane family related to Earl of Dundonald
« on: Monday 09 September 13 17:11 BST (UK) »
I do have the Will and Inventory for David Cochrane as you mentioned. I had also checked the 1841 census and did find a David Cochrane but realize it was not the correct one as my David had already joined the Royal Artillery. I have searched on the National Archives of Scotland and I am lost as to how to find Burke Peerage or other books of pedigree or the guild brother lists as suggested. Even though I have been able to put together a 137 page book on the Family of David Cochrane I realize I am very much a novice when it comes to genealogy and I do not in any way expect others to do the work for me. I do so very much appreciate your help in pointing me in the right direction.
I believe I should make an appointment to visit my local Family History Centre and see if they can help me. Thank you so much.

Thanks for your reply. My earliest Cochrane that I have is David Cochrane who was born in
Canongate, Edinburgh, Scotland in 1819. His father was also David Cochrane but I do not have any information on him other than he was a baker as listed on the marriage certificate of David and Jane but was also listed as a merchant in another document.. I have just completed a history on the family of David Cochrane (1819 - 1875). He was married to Jane Allen in 1843 in Kent, England. David joined the RoyaL Artillery in 1836 and served for 21 years. He served in the West Indies for 5 yrs 11 months , Canada for 5 years 3 months and in the Crimean War for 1 year 6 months. He was a senior non-commissioned officer and was discharged in 1858 due to chronic rheumatism. David and Jane has 11 children born in England, Canada and Scotland. The family moved back to Scotland after David left the military and he died in 1875 from cardiac disease.
I seem to be at a impasse at this point but will check the National Archives of Scotland again.

Lanarkshire / Cochrane family related to Earl of Dundonald
« on: Sunday 08 September 13 22:19 BST (UK) »
I am searching for information on how to trace my Cochrane family as it may relate to the Dundonald family (Earl of Dundonald). This has been mentioned in 1903 in a newspaper article about ancestor David Cochrane and mentioned in a book on the history of prominent citizens of Riverside, California, USA printed about 1912. Also handed down from family members since the 1800's. I have send a message to a accredited Genealogist (to hire) in Scotland but no response has been forthcoming.
I don't know how to proceed at this point. I have been able to trace our family back to 1819 in Edinburgh, Scotland but am at an impasse.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Canada / Re: British soldiers in Ontario and Quebec around 1848 - 1852

I have David Cochrane's military history indicating the number of years he was in Canada and his regiment and rank when he was in the Crimean War. I also have the batpism record for son David Cochrane born in Quebec in 1848. For Henrietta and Jane I have only information from the England Census indicating where they were born.
I thank everyone for your responses which has helped me to understand why David was in Canada during this time.

I appreciate everyone's response to my question regarding British soldiers in Canada. I guess my Canadian history is lacking and I should rectify that. Your responses have been very helpful.
Thank you

Canada / British soldiers in Ontario and Quebec around 1848 - 1852
« on: Friday 10 May 13 16:22 BST (UK) »
My husband's gggrandfather David Cochrane was in the Royal Artillery from 1836 - 1858. Three of his children were born in Canada - son David in 1848 in Quebec, daughter Jane in 1850 in Kingston, Ontario and Henrietta in 1852 in Quebec. He served in Canada for 5 years 3 months according to his military history. I am trying to understand why British soldiers were stationed in Canada during this time. Would this be part of the "Road to Confederation" or another reason.
It appears that soon after returning to England David was in the Crimean War.
Any help would be appreciated.
