Hello Mike, and Hello again Melody, I am one quarter Tickle and am researching the West Bromich branch of the tree.
Re the change of name Tittle, Ticcle etc., we need to remember that if the reporter of an event (birth marriagedeath census etc) is not literate, he or she may not be able to spell out the name to the parish clerk, priest, registrar or census enumerator, who is then obliged to make his own best guess.
Add to these the way the 'ck' is sounded in some parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire and maybe one can explain how Tickle could have become Ticcle and Tittle without any action at all on the part of the family, even possibly without their knowledge at the time.
In West Brom, there are examples of Tickle being changed to Ticklin and probably back again - maybe they didn't like the name!
I hope this helps
Peter Stubbs
