Hi
I am trying to trace an Andrew Cockburn (born Haddington 27 Sep 1872); his wife Agnes Walker Robertson (born 24 Nov 1874 Dirleton) and their son David Cockburn (born Dirleton 28/04/1902). They were married 21/01/1901 in Dirleton, East Lothian. He was a master joiner.
They emigrated to Canada and were in Canada in 1921 however so far I can find no record of any of their deaths in any index. Andrew was in business with his brother John and John and his wife died in Vancouver. There is an Andrew Cockburn died in 1941 in Vancouver, this isn't him.
I think there was a USA connection though, does anyone on the list have access to the 1930 Census and see if they can find any of the above please? It's a long shot but with Canada not turning up anything this seems like the next most likely option.
many thanks
