I understood that Joseph Vipond of Penrith, who died in 1750, was the father of Elizabeth Vipond, who married John Teasdale of Kirkhaugh (near Alston). Having sent for, and read Joseph’s Will, it would appear that he and his wife, Ann (who died in 1758), had no children together. Ann had children by a previous marriage.
I am now wondering whether Joseph and Elizabeth might have been siblings, as Joseph refers in his will to “my brother Thomas Teasdale of Whitlow”, and John did have a brother called Thomas. Would he refer to him as “brother”, as opposed to “brother in law”?
The Vipond and Teasdale families, in this area, are so intertwined, I’m finding it extremely difficult to disentangle them. Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes it's probably his brother in law.
To others looking John Teasdale married Elizabeth Vipond 17 August 1740 at Alston

Many thanks. This tends to confirm what I thought. I had the marriage between John Teasdale and Elizabeth Vipond down provisionally, as the date you quoted, but was unsure if I had the correct bride and groom.
