oh I didnt read the posts first this Stephen must be his son then ? sounds like father like son

**Janet in Yorkshire** · 08-07-13, 18:23

I'm off to read the Hull paper Val - thanks! Julie not sure about the Blyth FHS - can't find anyone online researching the family; nothing helpful about Stephen sen on Ancestry. I really appreciate your efforts, ladies - thank you both.

its The Hull Daily Mail 1941

**Janet in Yorkshire** · 08-07-13, 18:35

Stephen jnr also had a son Stephen, born 1916, so it could have been him who abandoned ship (or his father.) Have found a death of a Stephen Cochrane in Sheffield in 1942 - 71 years. That would be 10 yrs out of date, but as we know, any date is only as good as the knowledge of the informant. Off to investigate this chap.

**Janet in Yorkshire** · 08-07-13, 18:39

Bother - chased him up yesterday. He was born in Retford in 1871/2 & was recorded in Sheffield in 1911 census.

There are some Cockerill deaths at sea (neither initial nor first name given.) But too many to consider buying certs. I would have expected crew members to have needed their papers and consequently their names to have been known.

Jay,

what was Stephens fathers name please

**Janet in Yorkshire** · 08-07-13, 19:36

William Cochrane - in 1871 the family were at Willington, Northumberland

**Darksecretz** · 08-07-13, 19:40

thanks Jay, put paid to that idea then.. :(

**Guest** · 08-07-13, 19:42

I did look under his Mothers maiden name McKie too, as maybe he used that

Blyth Branch Reports | NDFHS

http://www.ndfhs.org.uk/branches/blyth-branch/

they have a forum, not sure though whether it is members of the FHS only though.

**Janet in Yorkshire** · 08-07-13, 20:18

I think it is members only. My contact belongs to this group I think, in which case he is the only person with an interest in the Cochrane surname.:(

**Guest** · 08-07-13, 20:25

**Janet in Yorkshire** · 08-07-13, 20:27

No - I don't have a tree on Ancestry, Val

**Janet in Yorkshire** · 08-07-13, 20:37

I only have Ancestry basic at home Val - where was he sailing to. please? (Could indicate possible census searches)

**Guest** · 08-07-13, 20:44

pmd you

**Janet in Yorkshire** · 08-07-13, 20:57

Have replied.................. Julie & Val thank you both so much for all your hard work. I really appreciate the time you've each given to this. I'm going offline now as I need to brew some coffee and then do a few kitchen fatigues. Night both............ Jay

**Guest** · 08-07-13, 21:30

there are 3 records from The Boer War on FMP 2 just say Cochrane and one says S Cochrane

**Janet in Yorkshire** · 09-07-13, 07:23

Thanks for that Val - anything's possible, but as he would have been 40, wasn't he a bit old and wasn't mid 1901 a bit late for joining up?
