I have just found aggg grandparent was born in Ireland. I have no idea where to start to find him, so I'm hunting around for info. His name was James Cockburn and was born around 1823 in Ireland - I don't know where. He went to Scotland, don't know when, and married Julia McLellan in 1851. I don't know when he died. Julia died in 1887 in the poorhouse, so I'm gathering that James wouldn't have been from landed gentry.
I have found only 2 children for James - James, b about 1865 and Margaret b 1854. Julia McLellan's parents names were James McLellan & Jane Bittle/Buittle.
Where do I go from here?
