Janet's record directly names Alexander Penman and Helen McKenzies as her parents. Complete separate WikiTree duplicate audits for both before creating or attaching them. Alexander Cochrane's birth and death locations are set to St Ninians, Stirlingshire, Scotland, uncertain, from his documented marriage and child's baptism there; this does not establish his actual birthplace or further parentage.
