Notes
The Leatherbarrows were wheelwrights and also made coffins. Mary Leatherbarrow was the 'hatcher and dispatcher' of the village (midwife and undertaker). She also managed to have 14 children. Throughout her life she smoked Woodbines.
Mary Leatherbarrow was Mary Drewry's grandmother with whom she was very close. According to Mary D., she was Mary Wharton who married Edward Leatherbarrow.
However Mary D's sister Kitty (who married a Wharton)says her maiden name was Latham.
