where is Carubulund or Carabuland

[Tavy]

My ancestor Sarah Isabella Johnson was born in 1818 in Carabu land and states this place on censes. Can it be Scandanavia or Canada. Thank you.

Is this the Isabella Drummond in the 1851 census in Liverpool? Birthplace looks like Cumberland.

What other censuses have you found for her? Please post links or details.

hi, Carabuland is also stated on her Christening in 1820 at the same time as her brother Henry Charles Johnson in Tower hamlets. It is vey hard to read but her parents were John Johnson and Mary?

Carabuland is also stated on her Christening in 1820

I can see her baptism but I can't see "Carabuland". Under abode it says either "Both in" or "Born in" Norway.

I will need a little time to find the other reference but it looks like Norway is the answer however when I "googled" carubuland it had no answer other than Alberta which is possible. Thank you very much for your time, I will close here.

I searched through lists of villages and towns in Norway and, oddly enough, there wasn't a single one beginning with the letter C

Well that puts a lot of assumptions in doubt, we have assumed Sarah was Norwegian and she just was being silly in putting carabu land. In another censes it would seem she has said she was from Scotland. Thanks.

Looking at the "Abode" column on the 1820 baptism register, the one for Henry Charles is hard to read but I think it says "In their camp on Kent Road".

For Sarah Isabella it does appear to say "Born in Norway".

I looked at these records yesterday and I agree with Shaun's interpretation. If the census record is the correct one, it does state Cumberland as birthplace.

Add - I didn't look at Henry Charles's entry
