Hi, sorry to disappoint you, but the only James Cockburn born in Coldingham in my tree was born in 1774 to John Cockburn and Mary Loraine.
I have 77 James Cockburns in my tree, but - believe it or not - yours isn't one (or two!) of them.
If there's anyone else I can check for you, please let me know.

I wish I could offer you some good news, but I'm afraid that my tree information doesn't provide good evidence for the Mary Cockburn you're looking for.
"My" Mary Cockburn was born on 12 January 1776 in Whittingham, East Lothian to John Cockburn (1742-1834) and Margaret Dickson (1748 - 1799).
My records show her to have married George Vertue, and they had a daughter, Marion Watson Vertue, born in January of 1800 in Duns, Berwickshire when Mary was 24.
"Your" Mary - if she was the same as mine - would have given birth to her last child at the age of 43, which - although NOT impossible - seems a little bit unlikely.
You will have found, though, that there were MANY Cockburns in that area, and "Mary" is a very common name.
I don't have a John Allan anywhere in my tree, I'm afraid.
Sorry that I couldn't be of more help...good luck with your search!

Hi Tracy:
Do you have any further information on the Mary Cockburn you have listed as one of the children of John Cockburn and Margaret Dixon/Dickson? I'm looking for a Mary Cockburn of the same age who married John Allan and immigrated to Canada.
I've located birth records for four of the children of John Allan and Mary Cockburn:
Margaret Allan, b. 1801 in Chirnside, Berwickshire
James Allan, b. 1803 in Chirnside, Berwickshire
John Cockburn Allan, b. 1803 in Chirnside, Berwickshire
Robert Allan, b. 1819 in West Preston, Coldingham, Berwickshire
There were two other sons whose birth records I haven't found:
David Allan, b. 1813, Berwickshire
George Allan, b. abt. 1815
An old Allan family tree states that John Allan came to Canada from Duns, Berwickshire, Scotland, with four of his five sons (John, David, George, and Robert), in 1834. The other son, James Allan, remained in Scotland; no mention of a daughter Mary is made. This tree lists John Allan's wife as Mary Winters, but I believe her name was actually Cockburn based on these birth records.
Unfortunately, I don't have a scrap of info regarding Mary (Cockburn) Allan's parents. Her age was taken from the 1861 Canadian census, when she and John (age 84 and 82 respectively) were living in Ontario with their son, John Cockburn Allan.
Any info you have would be appreciated.
