I found a Thomas Edward Cochrane b. 6 Apr 1863 in Livingston NY whose parents are Thomas Cochrane and Sara Bancroft on Rootsweb. There is a list of some of the descendents of Thomas E. which might give you some leads. I assume you have searched Rootsweb but just wanted to be sure that you found this entry in World Connect.
