I have several Cochron's They are: Cochron, John married Elizabeth Young, their children were: John, 1732, Elizabeth 1736, Margrat, 1739, married John Barr,b.1736 in June 1759, Their children were: Matthew b. 1760, Robert Oct 1764, Jean 1767, Margaret 1768, Janet May 1772, and John 1775. Margaret married John Taylor 24 April 1790. I got my information from the Morman Church Records.I'm wondering if any of these people tie into your Cochrans?

Just didn't know if it would be worth it. You are saying it would produce more data than I could find on the free webs? Oh absolutely. Scotlandspeople is the official government website. It has indexes and images of birth, death and marriage certificates from 1855 till 1905 for births, 1955 for deaths and 1930 for marriages. It also has census indexes and images for 1841, 51, 61, 71, 91 and 1901. It costs £6 for 30 credits ...1 credit to look at a page and 5 credits to look at an image. Just be careful if you get back to pre-1855. There are no certificates before that ..only parish register entries. I don't think the images of these are online yet. They are the same entries as are found on the LDS films of the registers so can be looked at more cheaply at LDS family history centres. Also the pre-1855 indexes are almost as good at familysearch.org ..... free site, which also has a lot of the BDM indexes for 1855-1875. Used in conjunction with scotlandspeople it could save you a little money. Irene

Thank you Bill for the informations and clarification.

Hi Margaret, There is this book, although it says pre 1855, I have a couple of books for other areas and there are a lot of post 1855. Scottish Monumental Inscriptions Pre-1855 Renfrewshire Vol. 1 - J. Mitchell & S. Mitchell Burial grounds covered: Arthurlie (Barrhead), Bridge of Weir (Freeland), Cathcard Old Churchyard, Eaglesham Churchyard, Eastwood (Pollok) Old Churchyard, Erskine Old Churchyard, Gourock Chapel Street ground, Gourock Cemetery, Greenock Old (West) Church, Greenock New (Middle) Church, Greenock Congregational, Greenock Inverkip Street ground and Greenock Duncan Street ground, Greenock Cemetery, Houston, Inchinnan, Inverkip, Johnstone, Kilbarchan West, Kilbarchan East, Kilbarchan Burntsheilds, Killellan. Or the LDS have it on film, if you live near a FHC you could order it in. The Inverclyde council has cemetery records for Gourock but unfortunately they start from November 1876.

Hi Karen, I did a search on Scotland's People & there is a Donald & Malcolm McGillivray on the 1891 census for Greenock. I didn't have any credits so don't know how old they are. Have you searched for a marriage for Donald? If the kids were 10 & 7 in say 1889,between 1880-1882 there are 2 marriages for a Donald McGillivray. Where in Ontario did they go? This link is the Ontario Cemetery finder. http://www.islandnet.com/ocfa/homepage.html I did a quick search, there is a Donald & Malcolm buried in Queen Hill Bruce. I also searched the immigration records on Ancestry, there is 1 Donald age 32 but it looks like he is on his own.

Hi I have Alexander WEBSTER died 1857 0f typhus aged 47yrs, he is buried in Gourock cemetery and I wonder if there are headstone transcriptions available after 1855 where I can check if he has one and if any other family members are buried there. Alexander was the son of Andrew Webster and Jayne McLintock, b c 1809 Cardross, he married Jane/Jean Watt 1832 Inverkip, Children were, Andrew, Thomas Alexander, James, Isabella went to NZ, Margaret. many thanks to all you helpful people, Margaret, NZ

There is no Webster listed in the index of Gourock in the MIs book. These books are collections of inscriptions of stones with pre-1855 information on them........ so if one family member died in say 1854 all the information will be transcribed but if the first burial was 1857 then that stone would not have been transcribed. Having said that there are many many graves without stones ...either there was no marker, or there was a wooden marker now gone, or a stone which has weathered so much the inscription is not legible, or has fallen over.

I have found information on the birthplaces of a number of Cochran ancestors who are listed as born in Rentfrew, Scotland. Since several were born in Paisley, I assume that "Rentfrew" is a spelling of Renfrew. Others are listed as born in Fernois, Rentfrew. I wonder if this a town or a farm name. The time period is up to 1432 for births in Paisley, and for births in Fernois beginning in 1460 and continuing until 1550. My ancestors (John Cochran, b. 1550, Fernois, Renfrew, d. 1613, Foughen) then moved to Foughen, Londonderry, Ulster, Ireland, with the first birth in Ireland in 1576. Members of the family moved to North America by 1752, to Carrollton Manor plantation in Adams County, Pennsylvania. My most recent Cochran ancestor was General John B. Cochran, b. 19 Sept 1781 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. His daughter, Tamer Cochran Gilbert, was my gg grandmother. I would like to know more about the Cochrans' reasons for leaving Scotland. Are there historical materials about Renfrewshire in that period that would be of help? Much of the early information I have is from an internet source on the descendants of Waldenus DeCochran that another American Cochran descendant directed me to. Is there other information available on the Cochran family in Renfrew? Are there Cochrans in the area now who descend from the same family? I would appreciate any information SKS (Some Kind Soul) could send my way. Thank you, Lucille Woolis Andersen

Hi Janet, The Free Census Project is a "work in progress" and, as explained on the website at http://www.freecen.org.uk/, you will need to refer to the Statistics page (http://www.freecen.org.uk/statistics.html) to see whether the records you need have yet been transcribed and uploaded. There are currently no FreeCEN records on-line for Dunbartonshire. For a more detailed view of current progress you may wish to look at the county page for Dunbartonshire at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~scotnet/FreeCEN/DNB/. All the Scottish counties websites are listed at http://www.freewebs.com/mmjeffery/index.htm A sure way of hastening the process is to become a volunteer (as many subscribers to this list have already done - thank you all!). All you need is a PC with a spreadsheet program and a CD-ROM drive. If you can't wait, and don't mind paying, the 1841 to 1901 census records are also available to view at the official government website, http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/.
