Many thanks to all those good folks who did lookups for me on the Cockburn family. Most of the information matches except for my ggg-grandfathers name was listed as Edward instead of Edwin and the fact that his wife Catherine was listed as born in England when she was born in Scotland. Ages and dates as well as age of my g-grandfather and his birthplace was correct. Any suggestions as where to go next? Would obtaining death certificates help? Anyhow, thanks to all those who tried to help. Edwin died in 1867 so he's not listed in 1870 census. Esther __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
