"1673 Nov 13 Richard Kipling (of) Baldersdale & Jane Hutchinson (were married)."
I have some doubt about this marriage since it occured only 13 years 8 months after the birth of Richard. Their first child was born in 1674 11 months after the marriage ruling out the possibility of a hasty marriage to avoid an illigitimate birth. It's possible that there could have been some sort of relationship between Richard and Jane - possibly cousins. Richard may have been sent away to Lartington to keep him and Jane apart.
