Gilbert Hansard had 6 car in Hornby and Irby, par. of West Rounton, and 2
car. between Hornby and Little Smeaton. The ninth carucate may have been
Blacktoft and Hook. Gilbert was enfeoffed of these tenements and of
Blacktoft and Hook by Hugh, bishop of Durham, as shown by the confirmation
to Gilbert, son of Gilbert Hansard by king John in 1199. In additon to his
fee in Durham the elder Gilbert obtained the town of Welbury from William
Ingram; the towns of High Worsall and Landmoth from William Vescy and John,
Constable of Chester; and in Lincolnshire he was enfeoffed of various
tenements by Adam de Montebegon, William de Vescy, the abbot of Thornton and
Hugh son of Pincun.
After their expulsion from Dublin in 902 AD, Vikings led by a chieftain named Ingimund landed along the north Wirral coastline between the lighthouse at Lingham (Old Norse lyng holmr), Meols (melr), West Kirby (kirkjubyr) and Thurstaston (Þórsteinns tún). They spread as far as south Chester and Mersey to populate South West Lancashire, where they met another large group of Vikings. Place names pointing to an area of intense Viking settlement played a major role in the study: for instance, Thingwall is a name of a Viking assembly, and the only two places with such name are in the North West, one in Liverpool and one in Wirral. Other Viking place names include Irby, Skelmersdale, Aighburth, Formby, Crosby, Toxteth and Croxteth. Even Tranmere (and, accordingly, Tranmere Rovers F. C.) is a Viking name: in Old Norse Trani-melr means Heron Sandbank. Then one had to select 100 volunteers who possessed a surname pointing to Viking links and whose male ancestors lived in the same area for as long as one could trace. To this end, the team of researchers used historical records that included tax lists dating to the time of Henry XIII, as well as a list of inhabitants who had promised to help pay for a priest in Ormskirk in 1366.
