This is an awfully old message, so I'm not sure if you will ever receive my reply, but here goes.

I am a direct male descendent of John Parkes - he was transported on the ship Barwell in 1798, as you said. His father was Isaac Parkes, b.1742, also of Halesowen. Email me cparkes@iinet.net.au if you would like further info.
