Hi Mark,
Whilst on a visit to The Family Record Centre in London the other day, I spent a few minutes looking through the Indexes to Marriages Registered in England & Wales in search of your grandparents Henry & Ellen Pickup. You will be pleased to hear that I found a marriage of a Henry Pickup to an Ellen Chadwick in the June Quarter of 1903 registered in the Haslingden Registration District under Volume 8e, Page 279. I suspect that this is your grandparents marriage. If you obtain a copy of their marriage certificate you should find their ages at marriage quoted on it together with their fathers names. You should, with a bit of searching and a bit of luck, then be able to find your grandfathers birth. Hopefully, when the Public Record Office gets its act together, you should be able to find your grandfather with his parents and any brothers and/or sisters on the 1901 Census. This should have been available to search online at:- www.census.pro.gov.uk from the beginning of this year, but due to the failure of the system to cope with the number of people trying to access it, the system has crashed. Hopefully,it will be up and running soon - in the next month, 2 months, 3 months, who knows!
You should be able to order a copy marriage certificate from the General Register Office by quoting the above reference if you visit their website at:- www.statistics.gov.uk/registration and following the relevant links.
I hope that this helps.
Bill
