Hello Everybody, Thanks to those people who suggested an origin for the surname Ajoubeat in response to my query. It appears that it is posibly a variation of the Walloon Huguenot surname Agombar, which has several variations and a lot of them were around Bethnal Green area of London. My ancestor who caused the name to be on birth certificates was, it appears, a person who marked documents with a cross! Regards, Rod.
