Early Origins of the Stickny familyThe surname Stickny was first found in Lincolnshire at Stickney which is today a linear village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district. 1 2 3 4 The village dates back to the Domesday Book where it was listed as Stichenai and literally meant "long strip of land between streams." 5 Another source claims the literal translation as "stick island." 6 Hence, conjecturally, the surname is descended from the tenant of the village and lands of Stickney, held by Ivor Tailbois, a Norman Baron, who was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086. 7 One of the first records of the family was found here in Lincolnshire: Alan de Stikenay in the Assize Rolls for 1202. Years later, Richard de Stykeneye was listed in London in 1336, and later again, William Stykenay in the Assize Rolls for Warwickshire in 1380. 8 Early History of the Stickny familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Stickny research.
