I am related to David Kirkup, and later John Carr Kirkup, of Lintz Hall Farm, in Tanfield.

John and Sue:
  I am a descendant of David Kirkup b.1820, and John Carr Kirkup.  I am doing quite extensive work on the family.  David Kirkup was of course Farm Bailiff of Lintz Hall Farm near Tanfield.  The farm is still there - there is a photo on Google.  His most likely father (at present research) is David Kirkup b.1800 or so, of Kirkandrews upon Esk.  There were a lot of Kirkups in Kirkandrews upon Esk, and I am presently researching that line.  By the way, my information is that Kirkandrews on Eden is a different place, a few miles away.
  David Kirkup 1820 gave his birthplace as Rockcliffe Cumberland, Longtown, Brough, and Maryport.  However... Burgh is close to Kirkandrews and is pronounced 'brough'.  And he had a maid from Maryport Cumberland, so I think just put ditto marks after her birthplace.
  Rebecca IRWIN is also known as Rebecca IRVINE, should you look at that.  She is buried near Kirkandrews and I have a photo of her gravestone.  I will attach if I can.  (Courtesy of Bridget James).  OK, how do you attach a photograph?
  I did not know that David Kirkup 1820 had remarried.  What is your source for that?

I have links also

David Kirkup - Lintz Hall Farm - moved there about 1860s, via Gateshead and originating in Brough Cumberland.

Offspring married into the Hindhaughs and their offspring into the Armstrong x 2, Heron and a couple of others who looked as though they wandered in from Mackem Country.

 I'm a descendent of David Kirkup of Lintz Hall Farm Tanfield, and have lots of Armstrongs in my tree, a Herren and a Heron.  I have David Kirkup as born 1823 Maryport Cumberland, married 1849 Gateshead to Mary Carr.  I'm in California.  I'm new to this forum, so am not sure how we can swap more information.   My grandparents were David Walter Kirkup (1879, Lintz Hall Farm) and Mary Jane Armstrong.  I would welcome any information on the Tanfield Kirkups.
