Eastwood Pickup
Hi I don't know if you can help but I am researching my great great grandfather, Eastwood Pickup 1834 till 1915 born in higher booths, I believe he was a member of the temperance society. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Re: Eastwood Pickup
If you are descended from the Pickups of Spring Hill, I would like to discuss the family with you. I am about to post something on the 'Street Names' thread
