The surname Cochran isn't very numerous in Ireland. It is likely Scots-Irish. 2/3 rds of the 1,800 B rcds for this name are in northern Ireland counties. The protestants weren't very diligent in keeping rcds. They didn't really begin to do so until 1845. Even when compelled by law, they were slipshod. Hence, mandatory civil registration was adopted in 1864.
