Here are stories telling the history of some families bearing the Tickle / Tickell name. You can send your own family history to be considered for inclusion here.
It’s often difficult to identify ancestors in the 18th century with any certainty. The most likely candidates for the parents of Thomas Tickle from my earlier post are William Tickle, a shoemaker, and his wife, Mary. They lived in Burtonwood, Warrington and had nine children baptised in St Elphin, Warrington. I believe their oldest son …
One of my weaknesses as a genealogist is that I’m easily distracted from the particular path I am following if I find something interesting on a side-track. That’s what happened to me last night. A DNA project forms part of my one-name study. It’s still fairly new, with just 13 members to date, some of …
Tracing your ancestry in the early 19th century is usually difficult, as this was before the civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths, began in 1837. Searching frequently needs to be combined with educated guesswork. You will often find more than one person with a given name and year of birth in the same location. …
Over the next few weeks I will focus on a family of Tickles who lived in the Manchester area of Lancashire. A member of this family, Peter Tickle, emigrated to Australia in the 19th century. One of Peter’s descendants has done a lot of research into her ancestors and her input has been very helpful. …
This post is a brief primer on the British aristocracy! As I’m writing about some of the Tickells of Carnolway, who belonged to what was known as the ‘landed gentry’, I thought it would be useful to explain what that means. The British Class System Britain, like many countries, historically had a class system, with …
My last posts have been about members of one of the Eccleston Tickle families. I’ve identified nine households, containing 50 people, with the surname Tickle or Tickel in the 1851 census of Eccleston. Eccleston was in the Prescot registration district, in the sub-district of St. Helens. There are other families in the wider St Helens …
While researching the descendants of William Tickle and Mary Ashall, who were featured in an earlier post, I came across the rather distinguished gentleman in the image above, who was one of their grandsons. His name was John Joseph Tickle and this post tells something of him and his family line.. James Tickle & Family …
My last post featured William Tickle and Mary Ashall. They had ten children, seven of whom were sons. The two oldest boys, John ( b.1819) and Peter (b.1821), both followed their father’s footsteps and became ships’ carpenters. Their third son, Jame (b.1823), took a different path as a glassmaker. A fourth son, William (b.1829), died …
One of the key family lines in the Eccleston area is that of William Tickle, b.1796 and Mary Ashall, b.1897. My starting point for this family is a baptism record for William Tickle, recorded in the Church of England register. This shows his birthdate as 15 February 1796 and his baptism as being on 21 …
The UK censuses of 1841, 1851, 1861, and later show a number of families with the surname Tickle living in Eccleston, Lancashire, England. I was interested in the area as my own g.g.g.grandfather was baptised in Portico Chapel, near Eccleston, in the late 18th century, although his descendants had moved to Liverpool by the time …
