Thomas Colrain Re,,Culrain, Coleraine and maybe !!!
Sorry, forgot to mention , in the sencis 1790 scotland, the name colrain first pops up,(In Scotland,) was registered by frank Colrain as Culrain. too many coincidences,O'Cahan, Culraithean, Coleraine, Culrain, Colrain, all coming from the one place, one name meets its demise and the other,assumingly , begins, all about the same time, was there a rebirthing after the "Plantation of fear" and a period of heads down. why would a family name themselves after a city or town if not for a deep connection. my email address is tom@australianart.info.
dying to make a connection
