Message Board Post:
Try as I might, I have been having difficulty tracing the Scottish forebears of my Cockburn clan.
I have reliable documentation of John Cockburn (1746-1822), born in Berwickshire, Scotland and died in Northumberland, England. He was married to Eleanor Jackes (1752-1845), also born in Berwickshire and died in Northumberland.
I believe John's father was Joseph Cockburn (b. 1720), but have no relevant information past that, nor do I have information on John's mother, or Eleanor Jackes' parents.
(I am a Canadian descendant of these Cockburns...my maiden name is Cockburn.)
Any help on this line of the family would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks!
