Thanks for your help yet again !! have printed off Marriage doc April 4 1905 & note that Joseph Robertson(father) deceased and mother Ellen Elizabeth shown on cert but she sadly died May 5 1905.

Note that Catherine & Joseph Robertson signed as Winesses.This could mean that Catherine was wife of Minnie's brother Joseph or brothers Alexander &,Robert ( also possible further sister !)

PM received from Graham:

Have seen the 1881 Census for 81 West Street ,Tendring,Harwich,Essex which lists John H Cochran age 36 Emma Cochran age 40(wife) three children and a servant....I.did receive from a contact in Scotland that a John Henry Cochran married Emma M Waters Dec 12 1876 at St Stephens,Poplar Mddx(bride's father John Waters,groom's father Joseph Cochran..wonder if any of this fits in with the Cochran family members on that 1861 Census!!?

The John H Cochrane in the 1861 has POB of England; the one in the 1881 has Wales as he does in 1851. Also, on the marriage reg his father's occupation is given as Civil Engineer. So, it lools as if the John H Cochran in the 1861 census is the same one who married Emma Waters.

We need to find the connection between Emma and Helen Robertson nee Waters.
