Cumberland Lookup Requests / David Kirkup

Hi,
Looking for help on a David KIRKUP b c1820 in Brough Cumberland according to his census entries from 1861 thru 1891. He married a Mary Carr b c1820 in Berwick on Tweed. They married in Gateshead 10 Nov 1849 then produced 3 Children:
Walter Kirkup b 1851
Margaret Kirkup b 1852
John Carr Kirkup b 1856
all 3 were born in Durham
Im trying to find out when he was born and who his parents were.
His birth date is a bit suspect as he changed his age in each of the censuses although I believe that might have been to attract a new wife as he remarried a Alice Thompson in 1890 and in the 1891 census he said he was 61 but in the 1881 one he said he was 60 and she was only 55.
Any help or pointing in any direction would be greatly appreciated.
