Don't know if you're still doing research, but noticed your message looking for info about William Cockburn. I researched this family in great depth, to discover it wasn't the right William!
He married Hannah WEATHERSTONE from Hutton. In addition to the children you list, theyhad William Weatherstone (b 1853), Grace (b 1856) and Nicholas ( b 1858).
His parents were Robert Cockburn (b 1802 in Mordington d 1877) and Grace Proudfoot (b 1803 d 1877). They had the following children:
Laurence (b 1824), James and Thomas (twins b 1827) Robert (b 1832) John (b 1835) Mary (b 1836) Janet (b 1839) Isabel (b 1842) and George (b 1848). James married a Janet Weatherstone, who I presume was Hannah's sister, but I haven't been able to prove it.
Robert's parents were Laurence Cockburn (b 1767) and Janet Trotter (b 1776). They had 2 other children, James and Thomas.
I don't know any more about George and Jane in Canada, but there is another post on the site which mentions them.
