From Bulmer's 1895 directory we have living in Marlpool Taylor Wm, tailor and cowkeeper, Askey Sick.

From Sanderson's Map, early 18th century, the name Hoskey's Hick in Marlpool. The location of the lettering is in the area of the top of Sunningdale Avenue.

Do we have yet another red herring or did Hoskey's Hick get mangled into Askey Sick. I have had a search for hick in the hope that it could be a name for a topographical feature. The best I found was that hick was a 16th century familiar for Richard and the usual meaning of rustic person.

regards Phil
