The Leatherbarrows were wheelwrights and also made coffins.
The Births, Marriages and Deaths Registers appear to show that the Leatherbarrow name is local to the Lancashire area.
The House of Names gives the Leatherbarrows a family crest (to purchase) and suggests that "The name Leatherbarrow sprang from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain.
It comes from when the family lived in the region of Lathbury near Newport."
