Morning John
Looking at Scotland's People, there are very few mention in the SP records stretching from 1553 to almost present day. A total of four, all post-1855.
So Tyzick is most unlikely to have Scottish origins or substantial connections.
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
It is the most comprehensive site for Scottish BMD, Census and Will records, run on behalf of the Registrar General of Scotland.
I next tried Surname Profiler, which amongst other things, draws on the 1881 British Census.
There were so few Tyzick abd variant entries that it did not present any results-
http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk/Surnames.aspx
Now I tried the LDS Family Search-
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp
It produced around 200 English results, the majority being in Northumberland, Durham & Yorkshire, suggesting that the name originates in one of those counties.
There are other results for London & Middlesex; but these are likely to be migrants from those three north-eastern counties of England, starting just at the Border with Scotland.
According to THE OXFORD NAMES COMPANION-
"
TYZACK English (of French origin): habitation name from Tisac in Gironde, Aquitaine, so called from the L[atin] personal name Titius (a deriv[ative] of Titus, see Tito) + the local suffix ~acum.
"
TONC does not have a direct or referred entry for Tyzick aor other likely variants; but it does seem likely that your Tyzick is simply a variant.
Try-
http://genforum.genealogy.com/tyzack/
That is the only forum for the name and likely variants.
As there was intense Roman occupation of southern Northumberland and Durham almost 2000 years back, I wonder if there is any connection???
The Roman Army was recruitede from all over the Roman Empire; and recruits were generally given remote postings, to discourage desertion etc.
Interesting!
