Cochran Family from Templepatrick

[TheWhuttle]

Hello JD (from a fellow JD!),

Henry COOKE was engaged as Minister at Donegore for a short period [1811-1818].
Unfortunately, perhaps because of his hectic political activities, some of the notebooks went astray at this time - so there are gaps in the records for that church during the early 18thC.
[e.g. Weddings 1808-1811 & 1812-1819]

I had a search of the 1st Donegore marriage register for you, but found no COCHRAN in the 19thC.
[N.B. Be aware that 2nd Donegore "up the hill" were a Seceding congregation ...]

You might also want to keep Carnmoney Pb in mind.
[... and perhaps even Ballycraigy Congregational ... but, er, its records are currently classified as "missing" ...]

Thanks very much for that information. Very useful!

If they aren't in Donegore I would wonder where they came from. As they are living in Templepatrick in 1831 and didn't attend Templepatrick Presbyterian pre-1830.

Carnmoney Presbyterian is a quare distance away from Templepatrick. I don't know if Antrim 1st would be closer.
