HARLING

[HARL611] John Harling m. ?
. [HARL621] John Harling m. [USTO622] Julian Ustonson
. . [HARL631] Richard Harling m. [BOWN632] Isabel Bownas
. . . [HARL642] Jane Harling m. [GRNT641] John Garnett

The events prior to 1731 are circumstantial, and it assumes that [HARL631] Richard Harling was from Mansergh. It also assumes that the Harling referred to in the entry "Richard son of --- Harling of Mansergh was baptised 7th January 1701" was John Harling known to have living at this time at Mansergh hall houses.

Richard's bride Isabel Bownas was said to have been from Kirkby Lonsdale parish at the time of her marriage, possibly being the daughter of Thomas Bownas of Middleton. It seems unlikely Thomas could have had a daughter Isabel born around 1700, but it is possible her recorded age at death (60 in January 1769) was an error, and this is assumed for the present.

9.   [HARL611] John could have been the son of Edmund (born 1669), or of Edward (born 1676), or of Rowland (born 1675), or of Thomas (born 1674 or 1678), which makes it impossible to proceed further back.

8.   [HARL621] John Harling of Mansergh hall houses married (at Kirkby Lonsdale, 18th April 1699) [USTO622] Julian Ustonson "of this town" (born 1666, see USTONSON). They had the following children baptised at Kirkby Lonsdale as follows:

• Edmond (born at Mansergh, baptised 1st January 1699-1700);

• 7. [HARL631] Richard (born at Mansergh, baptised 7th January 1701-02, father's first name omitted in register), married Isabel Bownas, see later.

7.    [HARL631] Richard Harling. “Ricardus de Kirby” married (at Beetham, 30th June 1731) [BOWN632] Isabel Bownas (see BOWNAS).

They were married by licence, which showed Richard was a barber, and both were of Kirkby Lonsdale. The bondsman was Thos. Fell, yeoman of Kirkby Lonsdale. The bond was witnessed by John Briggs and Robt. Crosfield.

They had three children born and baptised at Kirkby Lonsdale as follows:

• John (baptised 22nd January 1732-33);

•  Robert (baptised 30th October 1734);

• 6. [HARL642] Jane (baptised 27th October 1741), married John Garnett, see later.

At the 1733 baptism, Richard was shown to be a barber. A Christopher Procter, Richard’s servant (presumably at the barber’s shop), died at Kirkby Lonsdale (buried there 30th January 1735-36). Richard (barber surgeon) was a bondsman for Rowland Tatham and Emma Powley, who were married by licence in January 1745-46. Richard (innkeeper) was bondsman for Christopher Holme and Anne Philipson, who were married by licence in 1745. Richard (an innkeeper and barber & peruke maker) died at Kirkby Lonsdale (buried there 10th September 1754), and Isabel died (age 68) at Kirkby Lonsdale also (buried there 11th January 1769).

• 6. [HARL642] Jane Harling (born 1741, daughter of Richard) married (at Kirkby Lonsdale, 13th November 1769) [GRNT641] John Garnett (born 1735, see GARNETT).
