[old boy]

Thanks Heywood the info is great just going to look for a death for Adam p

any chance of 1851 sorry to be cheeky

[heywood]

Hope all these are right- I feel they are though.
Thought I couldn't find him but he is entered as Dixson

High Street Haslingden
Peter Dixson 26 yrs Joiner Brewer b Blackburn
Margret Dixson 22 yrs Cotton Weaver b Accrington

I can't spot a marriage which would really fit 

Now I looked at Lancashire OPC - http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/
for any relevant Dixons- not much help but there was a birth for a Peter -father Pickup Dixon.
However there is a birth 1851 for an Adam Pickup Dixon so there may well be a connection. Death on Free BMD- 1868
