Wm J Rankine married to Margaret Cockburn in Eyemouth

lissemichaels1 — 2009-10-22 12:59:35Z

I'm researching Rankine ancestors, and I've got a Wm J Rankine married to Margaret Cockburn on 3-Aug-1866 in Eyemouth. The marriage extract lists Margaret's age as 22, daughter of John Cockburn (grocer) and Barbara Hardie, David Cockburn & James Tait as witnesses. Wm J Rankine (baker), age 21, son of James Rankine (baker) and Jessie Eyre. Does anyone know anything about these Rankine's?

I am also searching for African American Rankins. My grandfather was from Paris, Kentucky. His parents were Henry Rankins and Sarah Norton. He had seventeen brothers and sisters. I don't know all of their names. His name was James. There was also Jesse, Frank,Edward and Fannie. Those are the only names I know. He left Kentucky in the early 1900's and moved to Springfield, Ohio with his infant son Edward. His wife died in childbirth.
