  • Newsletter #14 Dec 2017
    THE KIPLING FAMILY HISTORY NEWSLETTER #14 DEC 2017 Welcome to the third newsletter of the year. There’s a new story about the Kiplings of Ripon, with a branch that settled in Lincoln. Also completion of the Baldersdale Kiplings story and a few other odds and ends to read over the festive season. The Kiplings of Ripon and Lincoln Robert Kipling, origins uncertain, was living at Alne near Ripon in Yorkshire by 1719, when he acquired property at Skelton -on-Ure near Ripon. He was described as being a ‘gentleman’. It is not clear who Robert was, but it is possible that he was the son, baptised at Winston (County Durham) in 1680, of Timothy Kipling. See “Timothy Kpling – Secretary to John Locke”. On Robert’s early death in 1728, his three young children were left orphaned. Son Alexander remained in Skelton, where he was eligible to vote in the 1741 election He, too, died relatively young and the family then seems to have dispersed. Son Alexander moving to Lincoln, son Charles to York and son Robert remaining in Skelton, later moving to Ripon itself dying there in 1822. The full story can be found at http://genealogy.kipling.me.uk/The%20Kiplings%20of%20Skelton.pdf Part of the tale of the Lincoln branch has already been written down in “A Kipling of the Oldest Profession” and the rest is now told in “Lincoln 1911”. Alexander was a saddler, as the Universal British Directory of 1791 tells us. His son Jospeh was a butcher – and at one stage an inspecor of proper butchery or hide trade practice.

Website: http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/pennine-way/route/walk- way-day-walk-23-high-and-low-force-upper-teesdale The River Tees The first part of the walk follows the Pennine Way along the south bank of the River Tees for 7½ miles (12 kilometres). Heading south out of the village on the B6277, the river is crossed by a stone bridge. Just past the auction mart, a finger sign on the right shows the Pennine Way turning through a gate onto a hardcore track. This ends at a barn, from where a path continues along the edge of fields, crossing drystone walls by step stiles. At times the river comes into view as it meanders about the valley floor. A finger sign shows the route diverging from a drystone wall, heading diagonally across a couple of fields. Walk 23: High and Low Force, Upper Teesdale page 1 Middleton-in-Teesdale Passing through a grove of birch trees, a stagnant pool has formed where Middleton-in-Teesdale owes its fortunes to lead-mining.
