I have some information on the Cochrane Family that resided in Stobieside, Strathaven, Lanarkshire in the 18th c. and that were cattle breeders in Darvel, Ayrshire from the 19th c. to present. Have a copy of entries from the family bible from early 1800 and some 1790's entries. Would love to find others who are researching the same family! - Kristin
I have a John Cochrane married to a Barbara Findlay in April 1809. Barbara was from Darvel and John from Strathaven. Are any of these names on the bible? bob
I did not see the name. The bible starts with the marriage of Michael Cochrane (born 3-11-1775 in Stobieside, Strathaven, Lanarkshire to ALexander Cochrane and Mary SMith) and Agnes Mair in 1795 in Loudon, Ayrshire. I think your John Cochrane could be his brother.
The children born in the bible were born bewteen 1796-1813. I think a generation after your ancestor. - Kristin
