Thanks Merlene. I have an earlier reference for the name Tingle in England you might be interested in. According to the Dictionary of English surnames the name means 'maker of small names'. In Middle English a tingle or tyngyl was a very small nail and someone who made them was known as a 'tingler'. A William Tingenail is recorded in Norfolk in 1205. There was a Alan Tingel in Cambridgeshire in 1209 and a John Tyngil in Norfolk in 1275. Good luck on the Tingle Trail.
