This is an update based on a Y-DNA test that gave the result as R1b1b2 R-M269.
This R1b1b2 subclade is defined by the presence of the M269 marker. At least in Western Europe, this subclade most closely corresponding to Haplotype 15. This subgroup may have existed before the last Ice Age, but a newer estimate for R1b1b2 is based on mutations that occurred around 5,000 to 8,000 years ago, after the end of the last ice age when people were moving out of the refuges in northern Spain, Italy, southern Turkey, Syria and Armenia.
There are unusual differences compared to the Atlantic Modal Haplotype: 15 is rare for DYS19 and so is 25 for DSY390. The combination is rarer still.
Atlantic MH: DYS388: 12, DYS390: 24, DYS391: 11, DYS: 392 13, DYS: 393 13, DYS: 394(19) 14
Colbourne, Frederick: DYS388: 12, DYS390: 25, DYS391: 11, DYS: 392 13, DYS: 393 13, DYS: 394(19) 15
The best matches today seem to be found in northern Scotland and islands and northwest Ireland, far from the location of Thomas Colbourne in Dorset, England.
The name Colbourne is also spelled Kolbourne, a variant of a Scandinavian first name, "Kolbjorn" derived from an old nickname (possibly Viking) meaning "Black Bear".
The location of a Viking nickname in southern England is consistent with the Norman presence there. Although the haplotype is not common in Scandinavia, it is known that Vikings took wives and children from Ireland, Scotland and Brittany. Their clients and allies from Brittany may have also taken Norman and Viking names before, during and after the Norman conquest of England.
