James, Son, 12, Scholar. Over Darwen
Thomas, Son, 7, Scholar, Over Darwen
Mary Jane, Daur, 4, Scholar, Over Darwen

Many thanks for the lookup. The family must have moved into the pub at a later date - I know he was a victualler in 1868. His dau Mary Jane married an Entwistle, whilst Mary J was living in the Entwistle Arms in Entwistle Street!! Mary J's in-laws family built several streets in Darwen, naming them after family members, and these streets bear the same names today!

Would u happen to know anything about a leach family in darwen

I have Leach family in my tree, but not as direct ancestors. They are linked via various Haworth family members to my Entwistles. The Haworths had a textile factory in the Darwen/Pickup Bank area as far as I know.
