I know this is an old thread but I would like to add a little more information and hopefully shed more light on the Pickups/Dixons of Accrington.
My third great-grandfather is Pickup Dixon born 1818 in Accrington, baptised in Accrington in 1835 aged 17 and married Louisa Pugh in Didsbury in 1841. He lived in Manchester until his death in Chorlton upon Medlock in 1858. The very one mentioned by Maiden Stone.
My problem with Pickup is that only his mother Mary is noted at his baptism, and the column for his father's name on his marriage certificate is blank. I do believe however that this is another case where a surname is used as a Christian name and Pickup is the son of Mary Dixon born 1793 daughter of Peter and Susannah (formerly Pickup) Dixon who had a brother Pickup born 1797.
