Mary,
John Kipling was almost certainly not born at Burneston but in Barningham,also in North Yorkshire, although his father Francis moved to live in Brough whilst he was a child. He most probably did marry in Burneston but retured to live in Brough where for some years he was an Innkeeper. My origins are alos Barningham and I have been running a project to compare the DNA of various male Kiplings. A relative ofyoirs has participated and our DNA's match, adding weight to the above explanation.
The attached provides some background and there is more at genealogy.kipling.me.uk
Best wishes.
Mike Kipling
