Hopefuly this is of some help ?

I've found little else on other sites, except to confirm the BARRAR name seems prevalent within FreeBMD's entries for Herefordshire (Kington & Leominster) in the earlier 1800s, unlike Digges/Digget or, oddly, BarrEr.
May well be worth contacting this forum/website ?

Browsing FreeBMD & LDS I also see a few Irish Barrars, also in Warwickshire as well as the Marches; this plus it's relative rarity all leads me to wonder if maybe it's a traveller/gipsy (canals?) surname ??

Also in FoD PRs are a few BORRERs, in Hope Mansell so Herefordshire side of Forest (altho FreeBMD suggests this is very much a Sussex name), and a BAROR in Bream 1774.
