I have some information on the Cochrane Family that were cattle breeders in Darvel . 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!

I would be interested in any information you have.
Any connections to the McAdam's or Montgomerie's?

I have a Daniel Cochran born around 1825, married in 1860 in Kilbirnie and lived also in Dalry. Parents given on marriage certificate as Neil Cochran and Margaret ?Hollies? (not clear). Any of these names familiar?
-
No, not familiar in my line.
-
There are still Cochrane families in Darvel. They farmed at Richardton farm until recently.
-
Thank you for that. I have been in touch with one. He helped out immensly with my line.

Hi Nutkin
Am looking into COCHRANE just now as my Uncle Bill (William) Cochrane married a daughter of the Catrine Chisholm family ( my line) and I was curious if he had shown up in any responses to your queries, particularly from John COCHRANE from Richardton - who has been in contact with one of my Canadian Cameron contacts
Uncle Bill was the Catrine chemist and an inventor of some well known things
Cheers, John Chisholm
