I don't know I'm afraid.  Can you tell me what context you have seen this word in?  And you think it may be Irish do you?

Sorry not to be of any help - hope we can narrow it down and find something for you.

Best wishes

Ticker,

It's said in a "passed down family account" that an ancestor of mine was believed to be from "Duberland, Ireland".

I have considered the fact that this scrap of information,like most that we try to follow up on,was not accurate,however, before I discard it, I wanted to make sure I put it on Rootschat.

I tried it on Google and got nothing. If it comes up the same on Rootschat I will put it aside and forget it.

Thanks-----Renee :)

Try playing with:
http://scripts.ireland.com/ancestor/placenames/index.cfm

Even in "simple" form, you can use wildcards, such as "%". The "advanced" allows a county-by-county search.
In Derbyshire: Whysall and their distaffs. In Norfolk and Cambs, Piggott/Pigot and their distaffs. In Ulster and SW Scotland, Hendry, Maud and their links.

Hi John

Good tip.

There are places called Dubber and Duburren.  Either could have been referred to as Dubberland by locals perhaps.

I may be stating the obvious and no doubt you have already considered this, but could it be Dublin? ???
Just a thought.

That last suggestion is not a bad one one of my friends thought her family came from Doubland and it turned out to be Dublin. Say Dublin with the accent of your ancestors and see what comes out of your mouth!!  Alll the best Anjo

Another vote for ' Dublin' here...... :)

Thank you all for your suggestions,I appreciate any insights on this one,because I am reluctant to drop it. Mostly because there is strong evidence that some of my ancestors were forced to leave Scotland at the time of a war and MAY have been routed to Ireland. However, I don't want to go off on a really long search at the moment,because I think I have stumbled onto a good lead on a,so far, lost gr gr grandmother in England.

So, once again, thank you for the help!
