Can anybody help. I have found on the 1861 census that my relative was born in "Marabar, Ireland". Have looked at the original and it certainly looks like Marabar. However, I have googled it and cannot find anything. Following census returns just say she was born in Ireland, so no help there. Can anybody think what it could be - possibly the census taker misheard it.

Any help would be appreciated.
