Notes for Julia Barrington
A note in a P-L memo book says she died at the age of 26. Hence the birth year which was otherwise unknown. But see below from her memorial, where she was 25 at death.
The only thing we know of her is from a music book bound in leather with her name tooled on the cover. The music is beautifully written. Was she musical? And a calligrapher?
Aug 1999: She has a memorial in Whitchurch church on which it says:
Sacred to the memory of JULIA the beloved wife of Henry Philip Powys eldest son of Philip Lybbe Powys of Hardwick House in this parish, and third daughter of Sir FitzWilliam Barrington, Bart of Swainston in the Isle of Wight.
She departed this life Sept 17th 1821 in the 26th year of her age.
... steadfast reliance upon her Saviour, which she maintained during a tedious and painful illness...
On the vault gravestone, it says she died aged 25.
Whitchurch Burial Register:
"1821 Sep 24 POWYS Julia, 36"
Possibly this age was transcribed incorrectly.
April 2002: Both a christening record and her marriage have been found for Calborne, IOW. She was "privately baptised" on the 3rd January 1796.
March 2003: Found this inaccurate record of a (inaccurate) memorial in Calbourne church, in "The Simeon Saga": "Sacred also to the memory of the undermentioned daughter of Sir FitzWilliam and Lady Barrington, Julia their third daughter and wife of Henry Philip Powys Esq of Marhmiek Manor, County of Oxford who departed this life 17th day of September 1821 age 24 years." (HP Powys lived of course at Hardwick House and she was 25 years old at death.)

May 2020, TFPL: Remarkably Prof Deidre Shauna Lynch got in touch with me about a thesis she is doing on Julia Powys’ “Commonplace Book” which seems to be a series of extracts of published writings that possibly took her fancy. It is in the New York Public Library which says this:

Hardwick House in this parish, and third daughter
of Sir Fitzwilliam Barrington, Bart, of Swainston in the

She departed this life Sepr 17th 1821 in the 26th year

While her afflicted husband, relatives and friends revere the

they desire their surest comfort from the resignation to the
Will of God, and the stedfast reliance upon her saviour, which
she maintained during a tedious and painful illness. Looking
upon this, they trust that she is now numbered with the
blessed : and that walking like path, they may meet again
her whom they have lost, in that state which eye hath not
seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered in to the heart
of man to conceive
