Thx ron,

That will have to satisfy me, if it is a Irish surname ok, I just thought it strange.

Kind regards

Jim.

I didn't find anything under the spelling of Carrabin but that's not unusual for Irish names. However, in McLysaght's the Surname sof Ireland , there is listed the name Carabine, which is a form of Coribeen from the Gaelic O coirbein , possibly the descendent of the charioteer.

Hi Henry,

The heading is down as Mother, just Carrabin, no Christian name, which is odd.

Regards

Jim.

 What part of the certificate or under what heading is it?

 Could it be a latin term?

Hi astral,

No, it must be Irish in origin, I know what you're thinking, Carib Indians from the Caribbean Sea, I hope not, that would mean I was partly Indian, not that I'm racist or anything like that, but being descended from Irish, Welsh, English, Norman and Scottish forbears, I think thats enough of a mix....talk about "melting Pot"...

Could it mean Caribbean?

Ron,

Thats funny, I have Bon(a)r's in my tree too, a Barnet Bonar married to Mary Anne Mcguire Hamilton 15th May 1855, both of them born Ireland C1830-35, and they were from Donegal, maybe there's a connection, are you registered with GenesReunited?? if so you could have a look at my tree, let me know.

Regards

Jim.

Picarrso:

I'm sure that Carrabin refers to her surname or possibly some anglicized version of a first name. Remember, when these were documented that possibly the people being registered were ususally illiterate, consequently, the clerk wrote what he heard.  Even if they were literate, they would either not see the document to correct it  or wouldn't want to question an authority figure such as the town registrar or the parish priest.

Also I have some Bon(n)ars in my tree from Donegal

Lastly, it's spelled "Pog mo Thoin" in Gaelic

Kind regards

Jim.
