Hi Sarah, I am sorry that I am not able to help you with this but I thought that I might suggest that the spelling is more likely to be COCHRANE. It's a pretty common name in Scotland. Good luck in your search. Regards Margaret

I think there is an organisation which helps you to trace 'GI' fathers. Can't remember the name of it but heard programmes on the radio about it and success it had had for people like your Dad. Perhaps a Google search would find it. Good luck Anne
