ArchivesRe: Towle and Barrow
in reply to a message by tessa
I believe Towle is a spelling variation of the English surname, Toll ...meaning a toll-collector.
Barrow comes from an Old English word beorg, which is akin to the German word berg ...meaning mountain.

An additional comment on Barrow - the town of Barrow-in-Furness, in the North of England, is a likely source of origin of this surname.
