Cumberland Lookup Requests / David Kirkup
« on: Monday 31 January 05 18:29 GMT (UK)  »
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.

Northumberland / Re: Robert Hall

Thanks a lot casalguidi, I had seen the Robert one but wasnt sure if it was him, but completely missed Sarah.   I now suspect that it is Robert her husband, possibly doing his journeyman thing.  Melbourne St is only a couple of hundred yards from Shieldfield.  I actually do work there most weeks so its nice to know Im working in the same buildings where my ancestors lived.

I am actually wondering if Robert had left Sarah as I remember my grandad mentioning that there had been a couple of "matrimonial scandals" do do with his parents.

I now have a new avenue to follow now, all the way down to Plymouth  :)

I now just need to find out where, what and when about Robert and Sarah prior to 1871

Once again thanks
