CARLILE OF
CARLISLE
John
Sawyers and Hannah Carlile were married in 1784 at St
Cuthbert, Carlisle. Their marriage entry in the parish register
states that Hannah was a minor and had the consent of her father Joseph Carlile.[1]
Hannah, daughter of Joseph Carlile of Blackwell Wood
was baptised at St Cuthbert in 1764.[2]
Joseph Carlile and Mary Robinson, widow, were married
at St Cuthbert in 1761.[3]
John
Robinson of Blackhall Wood was buried on 24 September 1760.[4]
His will, dated 17 September 1760 and proved on 25 October 1760, mentions his
son William (an infant), daughter Mary, and wife Mary. John’s wife was to be
guardian to the children as long as she remained a widow. If she remarried,
then Robert Longrigg of Low Burnthwaite
and John Bewley of Raughton were to be tutors and
guardians to Thomas’s children. Two of the witnesses to the will were Thomas Carlile and Joseph Carlile. The
probate documents give the ages of the children as nine years or thereabouts
for Mary and one year or thereabouts for William.[5]
In January 1762, it was stated that John Robinson’s widow Mary had married
Joseph Carlile and the guardianship of the children
was passed to John Bewley and Robert Longrigg.[6]
Two
possible baptisms for Joseph Carlile are in 1728 at
Great Orton, son of Thomas and Anne, and in 1737 at St Mary, Carlisle, son of
Thomas. The Joseph baptised in 1737 appears to have died as a bachelor in 1781,[7]
so the 1728 baptism at Great Orton seems the most likely candidate for the
husband of Mary (Bewley) Robinson. The parents may be the Thomas Carlile and Anne Bewley married at Dalston in 1724 or the
Thomas Carlile of Cummersdale
and Anne Blaine of Orton who were married at Great Orton in 1709, but there are
reasons to doubt that either of those couples was the one in question. The Thomas
who married Anne Blaine may be the one of Newby, Carlisle, whose will dated
1741 mentions his wife Anne and daughter Mary Tiffin but no other children. One
of the men who took the inventory was a Joseph Blane.[8]
Thomas and Anne (Bewley) Carlile may be the ones
whose wills were written in 1726[9]
and 1733[10]
and which do not indicate that they had any children together.
