There seem to have been several people with the surname Liddle born in or near Pickering, North Riding of Yorkshire in the late 1700's and early 1800's. I am descended from a Thomas Liddle born at Normanby near Pickering in about 1756-1760 and his wife Mary Huddlestone born in 1764 in the same place. They, and most of their living children, immigrated to the USA in 1824. I have DNA matches to several of their descendants. However, I am also a DNA match to a descendant of a William or William Watson Liddle born at Pickering in about 1808 who is NOT a child of Thomas and Mary. I am currently trying to sort out the Pickering Liddle family from before the 1841 census.
