If you can find them in parish registers it will no doubt tell you son or daughter of.

How did you come across it, hun?

~Summer Scribe~

~Summer Scribe~ Report 19 Feb 2008 19:23

There aren't many come up on the censuses, 2 in Lancs and one in Wales but born in Ireland, so it may have it's roots over there? Or it started as an abbreviation or something?

Interestingly, three births between 1984-2005 with Ebah as middle name.
