Hello Tempogold,
Time we put some wind in your sails!
The basic unit of geography in Ireland is the Townland.
Each Civil Parish is is composed of a collection of Townlands.
You will find Templepatrick parish's quota of constituents listed here:
http://apps.proni.gov.uk/geogindx/parishes/par254.htmThe closest matches to your attempted transcriptions from the marriage certificates are
Ballycushan and
Craigarogan.
----
Ballycushan lies roughly due East of Templepatrick village, with the Six Mile Water as its Northern boundary. It lies to the North of the townlands of
Cloughanduff and
Ballymartin.
It hosts a collection of cotters houses (b,c,d,e,f,g,h) in tenement 5B.
These lie in the SW corner of the townland, just North of the Ballymartin Water, at Bridge End.
Two farmers dominated the townland - REID at The Croft (1) and John B. WILEY (4).
The latter was particularly prominent in the Castle Upton Farming Society.
[The UPTON family returned to their seat in the 1840s, rejuvenating the farming practices.]
Your Christopher COCHRAN was likely an itinerant labourer, "working to" such big wigs.
He would have had to attend the local 6 monthly hiring fairs, even if being re-engaged.
Strong confirmation that this is the "correct" location comes from the fact that a James LOCKHART was resident in house 1Ac in Ballymartin in 1864. This was just down the road from Bridge End.
He may have worked at the Thrashing Mill in Ballymartin, just South of Bridge End.
This information comes from the Griffiths Valuation of Ireland published in 1864.

I did find another James LOCKHART, a major farmer in Kilroot.
His wife, Margaret, died in 06-FEB-1895 - buried St. Nicholas, Carrickfergus.
However, she was aged 76, so born ~1819.

Sadly, your Christopher COCHRAN proved elusive.

I did find an Emilia COCHRAN marrying a Mathew O'HARA, in December 1830.
Both hailed from "Ballyutogue" (sic)
[aka,
Ballyutoag - another Templepatrick townland - large, lying to the South.]
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. John M'MILLAN.
[As far as I could determine he was the long-term incumbent of the Presbyterian Church at Lylehill.]

----
Unfortunately, Craigarogan is also a very large townland containing many large farms and manufactories, so it will be difficult to get any useful diagnostic information.
At least you are afloat at last!
