One of my relatives was in Liverpool in 1871, and living with James and Eliza Fulham and their first child, there is Anne Darrets, relationship Mother (probably mother-in-law). Her place of birth is given as Co Meath.
It's a name I have never heard anywhere else, and wonder if it still exists. There's also the likelihood that the name was written down by someone else, interpreting an unfamiliar accent.
The only references to the surname appear to be from the Aquitaine region of France, and that seems a bit unlikely for Meath.
I can't find any in the Eircom phone book.
Is this a name found in Ireland? If it was mangled by the census enumerator can anyone guess at what the name should have been?
