The Kiplings of Wearside What is today known as Sunderland was once the parishes of Monkwearmouth on the north bank of the river and Bishopwearmouth on the South. Nearby were the parishes of Haughton-le-Spring and Chester-le-Street. Kiplings have been present in the Wearmouth area since at least the 17th century, being particularly involved in the sea. An Ann Kipling was buried at St Michael’s Bishopwearmouth in 1626 and a Margerite Kipling in 1670. In 1687, a Henry Kipling of Chester-le-Street was named in a diocesan document, probably a bond, yet to be translated. DHC2/B2/220 Eleanor, an illigitimate daughter of William Kipling of Norwich, Norfolk, was baptised at C-le-S in 1684, as was Ann the illigitimate daughter of Richard Kipling of C-le-S in 1700.

The outcome of the case is not known. DDR/EJ/PRC/2/1714/8 1722 An Edward Kipling then married Grace Thompson at C-le-S in 1718. He may be the Edward b 1691 at Romaldkirk, son of Henry Kipling (although D&VM have him dying locally). It seems likely that he had a son John for, as can be seen below, a John Kipling of C- le-S named one son Edward, and this Edward in turn named a daughter Grace.
