Turnpike Trusts then took over the construction and maintenance of major roads, until the creation of Highway Boards in 1878 (and then County Councils in 1889). Listed below are the trusts which existed in County Durham (and in that part of the North Riding of Yorkshire which became part of Durham in 1974). The limits within which they operated are given (together with approximate current road numbers), as are the dates of the Acts of Parliament which authorised their operations. A brief indication is given of relevant records held in the Durham County Record Office. The Record Office also holds a set of local Acts of Parliament (into which category most Turnpike Acts fell) from 1798, and these may be consulted in the Search Room.

  • Bishop Thornton 1911
    Bishop Thornton 1911 There were 20 Households in the 1911 census with members descended from George Kipling born 1784 in Ripley, Yorkshire, via his children; Elizabeth (1813), George (1815), William (1817), John (1821) and Thomas (1824). George was the son of John Kipling. John Kipling was baptised at Bowes in 1744, the son of Thomas Kipling and Anne Pinkney. He married Anne Armstrong at Bowes in 1768 and a son Joseph was born there in 1775 (Joseph’s subsequent fate is unknown). A second son, Thomas, was born in 1777 (see below - place unknown). There may also have been a daughter, Elizabeth, born around 1782/3.
