I too have been looking into the BERROW/BARROW family from St Briavels and Newland, and have traced back as far as Henry BARROW who married Elisabeth YAROT in 1759. As far as I can make out he had 3 sons: Richard born in 1761, Thomas born in 1763 and Richard born in 1767; presumably the first Richard dies before 1767.
I am reasonably confident that Richard (1767) marries Elizabeth YOUNG in 1789, and the ensuing generations result in my grandmother Emily BERROW who marries Albert ROGERS in S Wales in 1913. I further presume that the family moves to S Wales around the turn of the century seeking mining work.
If anyone is interested I'm willing to share the research I have, and if anyone can shed any light on the BARROW family before 1759 I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Regards
