Cochrane, Andrew Cunningham

Cochrane, Andrew Cunningham , Farmer, Heddon Bush. Mr. Cochrane is the second son of Mr. Robert Cochrane, grain merchant, and was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1851. He was educated at Slateford, and worked on his grandfather's farm, and also farmed on his own account, until he left Scotland by the ship “Dunnottar Castle,” for Port Chalmers. On his arrival in New Zealand, in May, 1879, Mr. Cochrane obtained employment on the Clydevale station, Otago, and afterwards worked for Mr. William Todd, “Willow Acre,” East Taieri. Subsequently he became overseer for Mr. John Douglas, of Mount Royal, Palmerston South, and of the Waihao Downs, South Canterbury. He then became manager of the Bayswater Estate, owned by Mr. J. H. Smith, and, from 1888 to 1898, was manager of the Annandale Estate, belonging to the Otago and Southland Investment Company. Mr. Cochrane then settled upon his own farm at Heddon Bush, which he had purchased in 1893. He was married, in 1895, to Emma, daughter of the late Mr. Herbert Simpson, of Riverton.
