My great-grandmother was Liza Belle Cockern/Cochrane, Cockerman,....no one knows how to really spell it. My own grandmother wrote it at least 4 ways on different documents. Liza married Robert Lee Fletcher, who was maybe from MO, before 1900 when 1st child was born outside Melville. In my grandmother's Bible she wrote names of the siblings of her mother: George, Willie, Berlin, Dave, Annie, Ella, June Bell, and Eula Lee (which happens to be my grandmother's name, so I wonder if she got it mixed up). Anyway they lived on a bayou near the Atchafalaya River.
Yours is the first posting that I found, granted a bit late as I didn't know what forum to even seek, that seems to have the same quandry that I do--how do you research a name you can't spell?--in addition to the location. My grandmother's birth certificate says her mother was Eliza Bell Cochrane, born in Denham Springs. Her death cert says she was Liza Cockerman.
I hope this is still a valid address and that you have unraveled the whole mystery by now!
