There are two distinct lines of Barlows coming from Lancashire.

  • The Barlows of Barlow Hall
    so named because Barlow Hall was the central home of this branch for some 500 years
  • The Slebetch Barlows
    so named because this branch moved to Slebetch, Wales in the 1500's.

Both lines of Barlows are descendants of the Albini and D'Abitot Norman families.
