Dominic Cochrane

[peach12345]

My ancester Dominic (b 1874) Sunderland was listed on the 1881 and 1891 (Rivett Heater) census.  However was missing in 1901 (possibly listed under another name?).  In 1911 maybe showing as being in Durham jail.  Medal card only available on line shows 3 different regiments during WWI for possibly my Dominic or/and another.  Can't find his death in Sunderland and family say he was alive in 1928.  Have found a possible link to a Dominic's grandson but his grandfather died in South Shields.  Both of our Dominic's have the same fathers name and occupation. 

Anyone have any ideas how we can link the 2?

Hi Peach,
do you know who Dominic married?
If you do, then you may get lucky if they had children after the last quarter of 1911. Look for the births of Cochrane children with their mother's maiden name.
If you find some you can then check with your contact if one of these his parent, aunt or uncle.

thank you both for this information!

Gortonboy: I have checked out this site before but couldn't find anything.  However, because you were able to give these specific dates, I was able to go straight to this information (on payg).  Yes!! this is my Dominick (I can now even spell his name correctly how he signed it

Very much appreciated

Hi Daisy

Yes I have seen this and he could be my Dominic!  Thank you for find this information though   

I have been in touch with this Dominic's decendent and we are still trying to find a common link between them both.  This Dominic's marriage cert and the details of my Dominic both have the same father named with same occupation, however, as we know, we need something more concrete 

Trying to think of anything which will link the 2!!

Thanks again
Peach
