Narrative and Notes

John and Margaret baptized 5 children in Kendal. Their surname had multiple spellings: Margaret BARNS/BARNIS (the two transcripts differ), Elizabeth BARNISSE and William, Elizabeth and Ann BARNISH. Perhaps during this time the pronunciation of their name shifted from BARNISSE towards BARNISH as used by later generations.

John would have been born 1680-1690 so it is possible that John was the child of a Huguenot family who had fled France or the Spanish Netherlands following the Revocation of the Edit of Nantes in 1685.

Flemish protestant cloth-workers had moved to England and Ireland in the 14th century and had special districts assigned to them, with special liberties and privileges. They were planted all over England - in London, in Kent, in Somerset, in Norfolk, in Nottinghamshire, in Yorkshire, in Lancashire, and as far north as Kendal in Westmoreland². There are a few other BARNIS(H)'s in England at that time in Devon and Leicester, both areas known for their knitting/lace industries popular with Huguenots. So a later wave of refugees may have chosen to settle in Kendal too.

Looking for BARNIS(SE) records in France in 1650-1700 yielded just three - all from the Dordogne, a hotbed of Huguenot resistance. For example, the two below are just 30 miles apart

Jaques BARNISSE, b 23 Feb 1671, Saint-Germain-du-Salembre, Dordogne, Aquitaine by Pierre BERNISSE and Toinie LABER
Jeanne BARNISSE 1669-1749, buried in Razac-de-Saussugnac, Dordogne, Aquitaine

There are also BARNIESEs in Aisne departement in eastern France in the early 1700's.

Another explanation for the family's arrival is that he was from Scotland; Barnis is a Scottish placename. For example, in 1631 a John BARNIS, merchant, was elected Dean of Guild, in 1632 as bailey, and again in 1634 and 1635 as Dean of Guild, and later that year to commissioner to the particular of burghs being held in Edinburgh that year.

Other information

An IGI record of the death of a John BARNISH who was buried on 6 Apr 1726 in "Cumbria" has an alternative transcription of Jos BARNISH buried in Kendal (also from Family Search). As such it can be discounted.

1 - The Huguenots : their settlements, churches and industries in England and Ireland
Author: Samuel Smiles

"The persecution for religion in Brabant and Flanders, communicated to all the Protestant parts of Europe the paper, woollen and other valuable manufactures of Flanders and France, almost peculiar at that time to these countries, and till then in vain practised elsewhere," - Hasted, History of Kent, x., p. 160.
Although the manufacture of cloth had already made some progress in England, only the coarser sorts were produced, the best being imported from abroad; and it was not until the settlement among us of the Flemish weavers that this branch of industry became one of national importance. They spread themselves through the towns and villages in the west of England, as well as throughout the north, and wherever the woolen weavers set up their looms they carried on a prosperous trade. Among other places in the west, they settled at Worcester, Evesham, Droitwitchi, Kidderminster, Stroud, and Glastonbury. In the east they settled at Colchester, Hertford, Stamford, and other places. In the north we find them establishing themselves at Manchester, Bolton, and Halifax, where they made "coatings" and at Kendal, where they made cloth caps and woolen stockings. The native population gradually learned to practice the same branches of manufacture ; new sources of employment were opened up to them ; and in the course of a few years, England, instead of depending upon foreigners for its supply of cloth, was not only able to produce sufficient for its own use, but to export the article in considerable quantities abroad.
Fuller specifies the following textile manufactures as having been established by the immigrants :
Norwich, cloths, fustians, etc.
Gloucestershire cloths
Sudbury, baizes
Worcestershire ditto
Colchester, sayes and serges
Wales, Welsh friezes.
Kent, Kentish broad-cloths
Westmoreland, Kendal cloth
Devonshire, kerseys
Lancashire, coatings or cottons.
