Notts 1911 – Part 1 This is the Kipling family group with the largest number of households in the 1911 census. All originate with William Kipling who married Ann Fleeman at Marnham in 1765 (‘both of Grasthorp’). See Appendix 1 for William’s origins. They had children William (1767?), John (1768), Joseph (1771), Benjamin (1777), Ruth (1779), Robert (1780), Mary (1782), George (1783), Gervas (1786), Sarah (1789) and Ann (1797)1. All were baptised at the nearby parish of Laxton. William paid window tax in 1771 (of 3 shillings on six windows; most houses in Laxton having 6 or 7 windows taxed). Ma S 16 : Ma B 192/1176: Laxton window tax return, 1771 William (75) and wife Ann (72) both died in 1814 and daughter Mary in 1816, all ‘of Lexington’ and buried at Laxton.2 For son George and his descendants, see ‘Notts 1911 – part 2’ and for William and his descendants, see ‘Notts 1911 – part 3’ William (1739-1814) ,---------- ----------------------,--------- -------|------- --------------- --------------- ----------------------,----------------,----------------,--------- ------¬ William John Joseph Benjamin Robert George Gervas (1767?-) (1768-?)

This might therefore have been a child of son William and Mary or a disguised illegitimate child of a daughter (or, of course, a clerical or transcription error). 2 Lexington is another name for Laxton, being the family name of the long-time lords of the manor. John probably married a Mary Taylor, at Mattersey, further north in the county, in 1798.3 A daughter, Elizabeth, was baptised there in 1799. A further daughter, Ann, was baptised at adjacent Everton, in 1801. Mary (1804), Sarah (1807), Ann (1810) and Ruth (1812) followed. Mary died in 1813 and John remarried, to Elizabeth Cobb, at Sutton cum Loud in 1815. Further children were Elizabeth (1816), William (1819), Martha (1821) and John (1824). I have not identified when the first Elizabeth and Ann died, which they presumably did. John (senior) must also have died by the time of the 1839 tithe apportionment. Elizabeth, daughter Elizabeth and Sarah (probably Sarah Ann, an illegitimate daughter of Ann, bpt Everton 1833) were still there in 1841. Scaftworth 1841.

Charles (1850) Charles enlisted in the army in early 1871. It is unclear whether he joined the 97th Regiment of Foot or 2nd Bn 14th (Buckinghamshire - The Prince of Wales's Own) Regiment of Foot as records exist apparently showing both Records of 97th regiment of Foot (Ancestry). Findmypast suggests the other regiment. He was at Sheffield Barracks on the date of the census a few months later. Sheffield. 1871 A decade later, he was back at Scaftworth, working on a farm.

I can find no evidence that they had children. Could this be them (Joseph is 10 years younger than would be expected and the age gap to Mary seems large)?
