George,
IN did not require birth records until 1882 -- and even then it was hit and
miss as to which counties complied. I would suggest looking for a
christening record, marriage application or a death certificate. My g-grandma
married in Vigo in 1905 and I requested a copy of the marriage application
from the county. The wealth of information I received from that record was
outstanding. Not only did it include the parents' names of the bride and
groom, it had their parent's occupations, where they lived, where they were
born, etc. Of course, as with any document, the information provided was
only as good as the knowledge and memory of the applicants.
I checked _www.familysearch.org_ (
http://www.familysearch.org) for you
and here's what I found. It is not unusual to find different given names
years to years. If you know who she married, some of this might make sense to
you. Sorry the info is not cleaned up, but this is how it copies and
pastes.

Does anyone have access to any birth data for Vigo Co about 1880? I’m
looking for the birth date and parents of Maud May Cochran. Data that I have
indicates her birth may have been February 1880 and her father’s name may
have been John. Thanks – George
