�DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT BARWISE AND MARY GRISDALE
The first we know of the Barwise family of the parish of Dean is the marriage of Robert Barwise to Mary Gridale (Grisdale) noted in the Dean parish registers
�Robert Barrows and Mary Gridale both of Pardshaw by Banns� Robert and his three children, John, Mary and Jane where all noted under Barrows in the parish register for Dean. We are unsure of Robert�s origins at this time.
When Robert died he is noted in the parish registers:
Buried in the year 1793 as follows...
April 4th 1793 Robert Barwise of Kirby (Curby) aged 77 years.
At this stage we are not sure exactly where the family farmed, the couple are noted as being �from Pardshaw� in Dean when they married.��Their daughter Jane was born 26 October 1746 and died 28 March 1753 at a young age was noted to be 'of Kirby', in the parish of Dean in the registers. Kirby seems to be a small hamlet not far from Pardshaw Hall heading in the direction of Mosser.
John Barwise their eldest son married Hannah Cook daughter of William and Ruth Cook, Hannah was from a large family of girls from Grange, Beckermet. John married Hannah Cook,
When John senior died in 1800, in his will he�mentions his four children by name,�his three younger, Ruth, Mary and Hannah and his eldest son and heir John Barwise and names his freehold closes commonly�called and known by the names of Back of High and Snab Morras belonging situate lying and being at or in Pardshaw in the parish of Dean and names his wife Hannah as his executrix.� His will was proved at Workington 16th February 1801 and Hannah signed.
John Barwise junior never lived long enough to enjoy anything his father may have left him as he died not long after his father and noted in his will 'being visited with sickness but of sound mind and memory'� he left everything to his mother Hannah, mentions his elder sister Ruth and this three other sisters and his brother Robert who seems to be in some far off place 'in case he shall live to come to Kirby'.
Hannah Barwise (nee Cook) makes her will in 1807, she mentions her daughter Ruth Walker wife of Henry Walker, Mary Horner her other daughter married to Joseph Horner and her son Robert gets a mention again but must still be away in parts unknown 'but in case he should not return' and her other daughter Hannah�who seems to benefit greatly and inherits all the property and personal possesions. Hannah actually died in 1818.
By the time her mother dies in 1818 Hannah had been married to William Hellon for nearly ten years they married on 23 January 1808. They are noted to be farmers at Kirby on the 1841 Census for Dean.

Hannah Routledge died on the same date as her son Joseph was born 'Hannah Routledge, July 16th 1843, aged 33 years' so I would say she must have died in childbirth, Hannah died but we now know that Joseph survived.
Of the children Grace died at an early age 'Grace Routledge of Branthwaite Row, December 16th 1849, aged 18 years.'
