Does anyone have any info on this name? I know that it is English, and appears to be most common in Yorkshire. Any info would be appreciated.

There's a big family website at: http://www.bbackhouse.freeserve.co.uk/
Perhaps you should email him and ask ... the sites creator has an email address at the end.

Backhouse = "bake house", for someone who worked in a bakery, and maybe lived over the shop. Another spelling is Backus, which is not so obvious. Remember Jim Backus, the voice of Mr. Magoo?
I believe you're right about it being a Yorkshire name.
