It's certainly a very unusual name in the respect of a Well. After further research, the following came to light concerning the name.

It's similar to the name - Askew, a habitation name, predominently in N.Yorks, meaning, from the old Norse language - Eiki Skogr = Oak Wood. In Medieval English, the name is pronounced - Akeskeugh.

So, with Iceboy's surname findings too, the unknown Lancs. Family's root-name would appear to be - Oakwood?

The word Sic, is a loose translation from the Medieval German name Siegel, meaning approximately 'Victory'. Making the Well's full name, 'The Victory Well in the Oak Wood', or 'The Oakwood's Victory Well'. Now thereby hangs an interesting untold tale?
Shades of the Shipley 'Ulf', the Viking?
