LynCharlton I would like to refer you to the British Isles Family History Research Community. They should be able to help you there. Good luck.

You don't give any names or dates, so what I say may be right but irrelevant to you.
Short version:
The place now known as Barrow in Furness was originally in the parish of Dalton in Furness.
D in F transcriptions (not sure how many) are on http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Dalton-in-Furness/index.html
Longer version:
Barrow in Furness is one of those towns in Britain where the parish that the place starts out in, isn't what you expect. This happens particularly in the Midlands and North where the parishes are much bigger so cover several small villages, some of which became towns, only acquiring their own chapels and parishes in the 1800s.
To find out about Barrow go to the FS Wiki on
https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Main_Page
and enter Barrow in Furness. Ignore the prompt for Barrow's FHC and hit <enter>.
There are a load of summary entries that appear but the clip for the first one contains the giveaway text "The ancient parish of Dalton covered the area which is now occupied by the Borough of Barrow-in-Furness."
Choose that and you will get to:
https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Dalton_in_Furness,_Lancashire_Genealogy
Scroll down and you will see what registers are known to be online. Looks like Barrow didn't get its own chapel and registers until 1841. Of the online stuff, the most useful appears to be on the free site http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/ in http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/Dalton-in-Furness/index.html
I totally recommend Lancashire Online Parish Clerks (Lan-OPC), which has lots of transcripts across the county.
Good luck.

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&placeId=14878&query=%2Bplace%3A%22England%2C%20Lancashire%2C%20Barrow%22 Looks like you can search some of them online but to look at the images you'll need to go to a Family History Center or affiliate library. Call ahead because I've found the affiliate libraries I've called are not affiliate libraries and the Family History Centers are still closed. https://www.familysearch.org/help/fhcenters/locations/

I am going a step further ...

I am "Tagging" this (General) 'Question' of yours in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, to two (x2) specific 'Groups' in the Forum being:
(1) "British Isles Family History Research"; and,
(2) "England Genealogy Research"
in the hope that, the members of those groups may be able to answer/assist you.
.
That Group is "Public", which you can join, if you wish.
