Tickil History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

The ancestors of the Tickil family brought their name to England in the wave of migration after the Norman Conquest of 1066. They lived in Yorkshire, at Tickhill.

Early Origins of the Tickil family

The surname Tickil was first found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the manor of Tickhill in that shire, somewhere between Bridlington, Pockington, and Dadsley, all of which are on the outskirts of Tickhill. It is likely that they held a family seat there after the Conquest; however there is a possibility that there is some association with the Norman noble Roger de Bully who held estates in Nottingham and Yorkshire, and he built a castle at Tickhill, four miles to the northwest of the Honour of Blyth in Nottingham. Records of the name include William de Tikehill, listed in the Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire in 1175; and Roger de Tikell listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Derbyshire in 1327.

Tickil Spelling Variations

A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Tickel, Tickell, Tickhil, Tickil, Tickill, Tickhill and many more.

Migration of the Tickil family

Many English families left England, to avoid the chaos of their homeland and migrated to the many British colonies abroad. Although the conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and some travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute, once in the colonies, many of the families prospered and made valuable contributions to the cultures of what would become the United States and Canada. Research into the origins of individual families in North America has revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Tickil or a variant listed above: Peter and Werner Tickel who settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1754; George Tickel, who came to Philadelphia in 1808; Michael Tickel, who arrived in Maryland in 1765.
