Hello,

I'm not quite sure what you are looking for as the 1855 marriage entry of Alexander and Isabella should tell you their parents' names and where they were born. I take it you have looked at the details on SP?

Anyway, here they are in 1881:

Dwelling: 9 Jane St
Census Place: Edinburgh St Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Scotland
Source: FHL Film 0224019 GRO Ref Volume 692-2 EnumDist 13 Page 8
Marr Age Sex Birthplace
Alexander COCKBURN M 58 M Ratho, Edinburgh, Scotland
Rel: Head
Occ: Sawyer
Isabel COCKBURN M 56 F Prestonkirk, Haddington, Scotland
Rel: Wife
Thos. COCKBURN M 24 M Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland
Rel: Son
Occ: Coppersmith
Alison COCKBURN 15 F Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland
Rel: Daur
Occ: Dressmaker
Isabella HOGG 14 F London, Middlesex, England
Rel: Niece
Occ: Scholar


I am fairly sure Alexander's parents were John Cockburn and Margaret Kay but his 1855 marriage entry should confirm this - or not.

Isabella's look likely to be Alexander Hogg and Isabella Wilson.

Both families can be found on the 1841 census on the FREECEN site.
