A quick search of some surname/genealogical sites turned several instances of people named Leetham from the Yorkshire, England area.
I have an old family photograph which must date from between 1850 to 1900.
It is a group shot of about a dozen people standing outside a building called the Plough Inn, above the door is the proprietors name, Robert Dunlop.
In careful printing on the card frame is "TAKEN IN LEETHAM".
I can find no reference anywhere to a place called LEETHAM but I suspect at that time it may have referred to a district somewhere around Grantham in Lincolnshire.
The surname and place name are probably associated.
