Hello Suzanne, would really love anything you could find on a Bernard Cochrane DOB approx 1820's. All I know he was a scottish soldier who became a captain met his wife to be in Cork,Ireland in 1840's and died in the crimean war 1854-56. He left behind his wife Mary Theresa DOB 1828 Ireland & children Hannah DOB 1852 Woolwich,Kent, Alfred DOB 1854 Deptford,Surrey, Sophia 1857 New Cross,Surrey, Stanley DOB unknown died as an infant.( in case this has a bearing with naming patterns in scotland.) Sorry to be so vague but hope you can help Jenny

Hi Suzanne Thanks for your kind offer. If you have enough credits, could you please see if you can find a marriage between Jean Bicket and Edward McKinnon, Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. It should be around 1840. I have birth cert and marriage cert for my g.g.grandmother Margaret Ada Riley. On the birth cert her parents were Edward Riley and Agnes McKinnon. I have found Marriage of Agnes McKinnon and Edward Riley 18 Sep 1860 Kilmarnock. That cert says her parents were Robert McKinnon (wool spinner) deceased and Jean Bicket. The only marriage I can find for Bicket - McKinnon is Jean Bicket and Hugh McKinnon 12 Dec 1828. I have sent for this cert but the years are well out. If you could find the marriage Jean Bicket to Edward McKinnon I would be very grateful. It is rather a coincidence that two McKinnons married a Jean Bicket. No worries if you're out of credits. Thanks for the offer anyway. Regards Jan
