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 (Blackwell Wood being an alternative form of the
same place name) 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
Joseph Carlile baptisms took place in 1728 at Great Orton (son of Thomas and
Anne) and in 1737 at St Mary, Carlisle (son of Thomas). However, neither
appears to be the Joseph who married Mary (Bewley) Robinson. The Joseph
baptised in 1737 appears to have died as a bachelor in 1781,[7]
leaving the 1728 baptism at Great Orton as a 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.
Two
clues to the parentage of the Joseph Carlile of Blackhall Wood who married Mary
(Bewley) Robinson are that their marriage was witnessed by Thomas Harrington
and Elizabeth Carlile, and that the probate record of an older Mary Robinson in
1763 has parties Joseph Carlile of Blackhall Wood, yeoman, Thomas Carlile of
the same place, yeoman, and John Crosier of Buckabank,
yeoman. This indicates that Joseph was a son of Thomas Carlile of Blackhall
Wood and Mary Sanderson who married in 1723.[11]
As well as having a daughter Elizabeth Carlile, Mary (Sanderson) Carlile had a
sister Elizabeth who married Thomas Harrington and was mother of another Thomas
Harrington.[12]
This matches the names of the witnesses at the marriage of Joseph and Mary. The
identity of Joseph as a son of Thomas is supported by the 1745 will of Edward
Carlile of Carlisle which mentions Joseph and Jane, children of the testator’s
nephew Thomas Carlile. The testator also mentions his nephew Edward Carlile of Buckabank. Other probate records and parish register
entries for the family show that these nephews were sons of Thomas Carlile of Buckabank and that the latter and his brother Edward were
sons of Thomas Carlile of Blackhall Wood who died in 1712.
Earlier
Carliles who are probably relevant to this family
include John Carlile senior of Blackhall Wood, yeoman, and John Carlile junior
of the same place, yeoman, who are mentioned in a bond of 1623/24.[13]
