Phethean. Family name associated with Ladybarn Manchester 19. Possibly death reg ( over last 10 years) may reveal some info.

There is a Phethean One Name Study. The researcher may have details of this family.

Details at http://www.phethean.org.uk, or via http://www.one-name.org
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.

When I saw this heading, it attracted my attention. It's not one of mine, but in East Lancs I'd seen it spelled "Pythean". I'd had the idea it was a name with loads of variant spellings, and may have had Cornish connections?
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)
