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?
 
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,.
 
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
 
iknew DAVE and NEIL PICKUP dave used to come on here went accy tech and neil was in my class at the tech NEIL will be 73 and dave 74
 
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.
 
i knew a DAVE PICKUP who had a brother called NEIL we were at the same school accy tech up union rd oswaldtwistle, it may be them neil was in my class dave in class above.no idea were they lived. i think it was up that way
 
There still is a John Pickup living in Primrose Street many years ago he was a Labour councillor then he put up as an Independant but didn't get in again. He was into caravaning but don't know if he still is.
