‡ General

A descendant called him "William George". See daughter Alice's talk page.
His father was almost certainly "William Cochrane, native of Scotland, died 26th September 1889 aged 57 years." in Reefton Cemetery: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSKV-GSL4-V?i=106&cc=2780088 and NZBDM 1889/5306 Cochrane William 57Y
