I am looking for my ggrandparents. His name was John Cochrane and hers was Wilhemina Scott McKay. His obit states he was b. in Edinburgh and Wilhemina was born in Amcrum. The dates don't match, but this is the info I have. Obit states John died Dec. 8. 1909 65 years ago last August and he emigrated to America at the age of 25 years. He married Miss Mina McKay the next year after his arrival in America. He was a farmer. The cemetery records state he was 65y 4m 8d old which would make his birth date July 31, or August 1,1844 The marriage took place on Jan 1, 1873 and his age is listed as 27. If he was born in 1844 and came to America at the age of 25 that would be after August 1869 and the obit states he married the next year which would be 1870 but the marriage date I have is 1873. The newspaper announcement for their marriage states:Cochran-McKay Jan. 3rd at the residence of the minister, John Cochran and Miss Minnie Scott McKay and another article from the Early Marriages states: Cockran, John, 27. Minnie S. McKay, 23, m on Jan. 3,1873 at the residence of the minister. Witnesses were James McKay and David Brown. Her dates don't match either as the cemetery records state she died Jan, 29, 1935 at the age of 79y 3m 16d which would make her birth date Oct. 13,1855 and if she was 23 when she married in 1873 she would have been born about 1849.
