In order to help establish a connection - I'm not sure what information you have to hand - but are you aware that "Widow Cochrane" lived with John and Betty McKeever in Shanlongford on the 1851 Census. John states she is his M/L (I assume - Mother in Law) and she is 53?

I certainly didn't have the information from 1851 census but since we know that John's wife Betty was Cochrane no surprise that his mother-in-law was a Widow Cochrane. Age 53 in 1851 indicates born c1798.

1831 census for Shanlongford shows a Geo Cochren (2 males, 3 females)
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1831/Londonderry/Coleraine/Aghadowey/Shanlangford/5
and a Wm Cochren (2 males, 1 female)- 1836 valuation shows Wm Cochran with the corn mill there. This is probably the William cochrane born c1807 who died 9 Nov.1842. His father, William Cochrane, born c1764 died 12 Nov.1841, and lived Killyvalley (1807) and Tirkeeran (both near Garvagh).

There are other Cochranes in same area-
James in Cashel- www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1831/Londonderry/Coleraine/Macosquin/Cashell/11
Robert in Leck-

Or maybe it has...a little large tho lol!  I've seen a thread containing information about Mary a Mckeever & Alexander Forbes but can't seem to find the beginning of the threat on ancestry.  I will continue to look :)
