Surnames: Cochran, Ashton, Ashcroft Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/IMJ.2ACEB/2208 Message Board Post: Looking for information on Lucy Cochran (maiden Ashton) born around 1900. Lucy married a Lee Cochran, probably in the neighborhood of Fall River, Mass.. Her parents were William Ashton and Elizabeth Ashton (maiden Ashcroft). Elizabeth Ashcroft and her brother Jim (James) Ashcroft came to the US from England with their mother probably late 19th while they were children... Lucy's sister Ann (born 1902) is my paternal grandmother. Lucy's father William drowned during her mother's pregnancy and her mother died in childbirth. Lucy and Ann were raised by an Uncle and Aunt Frank and Emily Ward in Boston and alternately by 8 of William Ashton's sister, living in or around Fall River, Mass.. Emily Ward may have been one of the 8.
