Hicklin in Tattenhill Burton-on-Trent Tutbury

[Hicklin]

Hello I'm Kevin Hicklin and I'm trying to trace ancestors in Tattenhill, Burton-on-Trent and Tutbury  or any surrounding area.

My great grandfather was George Hicklin and was born in Burton-on-Trent around 1853. He married Elizabeth (nee Paul) in South Shields in 1887 and moved there before 1901. He spent some time as a furnace man in Coseley (Sedgley) and was there in 1891 living at 69 Albert Street.

George and Elizabeth had a son Joseph Samuel Hicklin who was born in Tattenhill in 1888.

My father who was born in South Shields (son of Joseph Samuel) was born in South Shield in 1928.

There seems to be a number of George, Samuel and Joseph Hicklins in Tutbury in the 1800's and I wonder if there is a connection there too.

I'd be very grateful of any information that people may have of the Hicklins in Staffordshire who might be ancestors.

Thank you
Kevin Hicklin

Thank you Miriam for your replies and information - and so quickly too.

The 1861 family seems to be spot on :-) as George seems to have been born sometime between 1851 and 1853 and his son Joseph being born in 1888 in Tattenhill.

Joseph Hicklin married Mary Ann Bennett in 1850 in Tattenhill. It looks possible that Samuel may have been conceived before they were married!!

Are you connected with the area or the family at all?

Thanks again, I really appreciate your help as I've only just started this quest :-)

Glad I could help Kevin. No connections to Hicklins that I know of but happy to help out.

Best wishes
