The object of transcribing the will of Thomas Blake Barrow was to understand the notation in the will of James Blake Brewer of Gosport now living at Greatbridge in the Parish of Romsey Extra. Looking at all of these parishes Gosport is 0.9 miles from Portsea, and Romsey is 22 miles southeast of Gosport. James is living a good distance from Gosport by the time he is writing his will. If indeed Thomas Blake Barrow did offer a special deal to James Blake it does not appear in the final version of his probated will online. Or I have the wrong Thomas Blake Barrow. Thomas Blake Barrow son of Thomas Blake Barrow was baptized 17 Feb 1799 and so would have been 48 years of age when this will was written. I have presumed that James was referring to the will of Thomas Blake Barrow written in the 1820s but possibly he was referring to the will of Thomas Blake also available at the National Archives and dated 14 Jun 1844. Was this the Thomas Barrow living at Carisbrook, Isle of Wight? I may wait a bit before I purchase it.
Background on the Barrow family in the will below. There was a Thomas Blake Barrow christened 15 Oct 1769 at Saint Marys Portsea son of Thomas Barrow (C06261-1 Family Search). I find a marriage 1 Sep 1768 of Thomas Barrow and Elizabeth Blake at Saint Marys Portsea. He appears to have been buried 27 Nov 1824 at Alverstoke (I04160-3 Family Search) in St Marys Gosport churchyard (http://www.knightroots.co.uk/transcriptions/Parishes_G/Gosport/Burials/burials.htm) at the age of 56 years. Elizabeth (widow of Thomas Blake Barrow) was buried at St Marys Gosport 7 Mar 1828 at the age of 54 years (so date of birth circa 1774). A William Blake also living at Forton was buried 7 Aug 1831 at the age of 73 years (so date of birth circa 1757).
The children of Thomas and Elizabeth (Blake) Barrow include:
Thomas Blake Barrow baptized 15 Oct 1769 Saint Marys Portsea
Robert Barrow baptized 12 Jan 1772 Saint Marys Portsea
Elizabeth Barrow baptized 23 Jan 1774 Saint Marys Portsea
Susannah Barrow baptized 8 Aug 1781 Saint Thomas Portsmouth
William Barrow baptized 14 Feb 1783 Saint Thomas Portsmouth
James Barrow baptized 14 Feb 1783 Saint Thomas Portsmouth
James Barrow baptized 4 Jun 1785 Saint Marys Portsea
Sally Barrow born 16 Jul 1787, baptized 2 Nov 1787 Saint Thomas Portsmouth
And perhaps the most helpful in my searching thus far is this particular document:
coastlinemarch2011.pdf
which states: Of the breweries which no longer remain, the most significant must be that of James Blake and Thomas Barrow: South Cross Street Brewery, c. 1814 to 1935, the largest commercial brewery formerly on the site of Gosport’s Police Station and Magistrates’ Court." Which rather answers the question of how Thomas Barrow was involved with James Blake. He was his brother in law. Discovering who James Blake is in terms of his parents will have to wait for the moment.
Thomas Blake Barrow married Elizabeth Grout 7 Jun 1790 at Saint Marys Portsea. Children of Thomas and Elizabeth (primarily RG4_0401 the genealogist.co.uk):
Elizabeth Barrow baptized 17 Mar 1793 at Gosport
James Barrow baptized 8 Nov 1794 at Gosport
Sarah Barrow born 8 Feb 1797, baptized 9 Apr 1797 at Gosport (High Street Independent Gosport)

Jane Barrow baptized 8 Aug 1818 at Gosport
Bishop of Winchester Marriage allegations: 24 May 1785 Lawson, John, of Bread Street, in the City of London, wholesale draper son of William and Catharine Lawson of Silchester baptized at Silchester 4 Feb 179 and Anne Barrow of Forton spinster, minor, born 3 Jan and baptized at Gosport 17 July 1804 with consent of her parents Thomas Blake Barrow of Forton Lodge, brewer and Elizabeth his wife at Alverstoke 1 Jan 1823.
Children mentioned in the will: Elizabeth Webb, Ann Lawson, Lydia Barrow. It is not unusual for sons to be missing from a will as they would have already received their inheritance in their education and setting up in whatever occupation they were destined to become. I will try and determine if they have died though. Thomas' mother Elizabeth (Blake) Barrow is still living and she is likely an aunt to James Blake Brewer but could be his sister. Still to be determined.
Thomas Blake Barrow in his Codicil mentions a copyhold which he purchased in Sussex in the parish of Pagham and in the Manor of Nytimber. The name of the farm of 40 acres is Trotts which I discovered reading through some of the information at The National Archives as it was very difficult to read on the will.
