Hello there Wendy,
Thanks for your contact, and great to hear from you.
I am not sure we share the same "Alexander Cochrane"
but there is still the possibility.
My Alexander Cochrane Married Amy Stuart Wright, (Born Feb 11th 1878.)
They had two daughters:
Edna M Born around 1909
Isabella Born Aug 1th 1911
Adopted a boy, Henry, whom died around 10yrs old.
Alexander was known as Alec, and died an Asthmatic.
Hope this helps, and hoping there is a connection.
Sheree
