Re: hello
 

I am wondering if cherylm posted anywhere else in the last 8 years to learn more about her Pickups.

Re: hello
 

Hello there Cherylm, My wife's maiden name was Pickup and I have been researching her family tree along with my own for the past 18months or so, what specifically are you looking for?

Re: hello
 

By the way, it may help if you could spell your words a little bit better, (I now await a response from the "woke" brigade) but don't let that bother you, if I can help in any way with your family tree, please send me Pm and I will do my best to help you,.

Re: hello
 

The only pickup family that I know was the family living in Edmund Street.
The two boys were called:
- Derick, now aged approx. 82
- John, now aged 79

No idea where they are now.

Cheers

Re: hello
 

The Pickups that my wife's family originated from are buried in Latham Cemetery on the outskirts of Blackpool and it has been suggested that they came from "travelers" stock who first initiated what is now Blackpool pleasure Beach. My wife's, Uncle "Joshua" was killed by an Israeli terrorist landmine in 1947, his family have lived in the Springhill area of Accrington since the early 1900s. I hope that this helps, Regards, Taddy.

I know this is an ancient thread, but.

There was a Pickup family lived near me on Primrose Street. I used to play with the lad when I was little, I cannot for the life of me remember his name now. John maybe? He'll be early to mid 50s now I'd guess.

There is, of course, a Pickup Street in Accy. How related that is to anything I do not know.

Re: hello
