English Surnames

Inskip is a place surname which derives from the village of Inskip, in the hundred of Amounderness, in the county of Lancashire, England.  The 1086 Domesday Book entry for the village is Inscip in the county of Yorkshire.

Hereditary surnames were not adopted by everyone until the 14th century.  Before that many people only had a single name; surnames were an extra way of describing the person, often for legal identity. So, you would get John son of Henry of Bolton, or William the Blacksmith. Hereditary surnames were adopted in the twelfth century for higher ranks or free men for land transactions.  However, by 1399 personal taxation had been introduced and almost everyone had a hereditary surname.  It appears Inskip was a hereditary name by at least the middle of the 1200's, possibly before.

There are five main groups of English surnames

1. Placenames linked to land holding often with a preposition such as 'de', 'in' eg de Inskip
2. Local names linked to where people lived with prepositions such as 'at', 'by', eg at Wood, Green, Ash,
3. Occupation of Office names eg Clerk, Fletcher, Smith
4. Nicknames eg Large, Scott, Dolittle
5. Relationship names eg Peterson,  or relating to a pre-Norman ancestor of note eg Laverick

The surname Inskip (in all forms)  is classed as a ‘quite rare’ English surname.

Meaning - The name Inskip is said to have Ancient British roots 

British –‘inis’ ‘cip’ = island or meadow of the long grass
Welsh – ‘’ynys’ = island; Norse - ‘cype’ = osier or willow basket making;
There is also a definition in the 1891 History of St Michael's, by the Chetham Society that gives the meaning as: enge = a narrow place, skip = ship
Overall,  the meaning seems to indicate an island in marshy land where there are willow trees.   Wet, marshy areas were considered to be spiritual landscapes by the people of the mid Bronze Age to Iron Age ( BC 2000 - AD 43). Willow was a valuable resource for making a variety of goods including boats to get around .

Early History of Inskip the Place

Inskip is situated in the heart of lowland Fylde on the old Preston to Blackpool Road, on a small plateau 50ft above sea level. To the east is the ancient Carr House Green Common with its wide open space teaming with wildlife and affording long views across to the Fells of the Forest of Bowland.  The Fylde area is flat, with 'big skies', wet and warm (for England!).  The natural landscape is  peat mossland and carr woodland that needs drainage management for cultivation. The social landscape is small, remote, dispersed rural settlements, set on low sand and gravel ridges on the edge of the mosslands.

The edges of the mosslands show substantial occupation in both the Neolithic and Bronze Age; watery places were seen as a transition between worlds and thus sacred landscapes - hence the many bog burials and sacrificial goods found  in Britain and Northern Europe.  In the Iron Age, before the Romans made their way to the Fylde around AD 71 (the conquest of Britain began in AD 43),  the area belonged to the Setantii tribe, a sept of the powerful Brigantes tribe of Northern England whose notorious Queen Cartimanua made a treaty with Rome around AD 51.  After the Romans left Britain around AD 410, the Fylde became part of the Brigantes Kingdom of Rheged.  The local culture continued unchanged from the Iron Age with little Roman influence apart from the introduction of Christianity in the 4th century; the people spoke a British Celtic language closely related to Old Welsh.  

In the 7th century Rheged was swallowed up by the Anglo Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria, however the large number of surviving British placenames suggest the 'Celtic' language was spoken well into the 8th cenutry.   Following the 9th century Viking invasion of Britain, the Fylde became part of  wapentake of Amounderness in viking Jorvik and was a destination for the the Norwegians thrown out of Dublin.   Thus, at the creation of a united England in the 10th century under King Athelstan the area was a sparsely populated mix of British Celt, Angle, Irish and both Norwegian and Danish Viking.  Sandwiched uncomfortably between the Scottish, Irish and Anglo Saxon realms, it was a frontier region both culturally and politically; this gave the area a powerful and enduring sense of separateness and identity.

In 1016 King Malcolm II of Scotland is said to have devastated the Flyde area. When this is combined with the Norman genocide of the North of Engand in 1069, it is not surprising that the area was still mainly wasteland at the time of the 1086 Domesday survey; with only 16 villages and few inhabitants. The Doomsday book entry for Inskip reads - 'Inscip has 2 carucates of land [under cultivation] and Sorbi (Sowerby) one [carucate = 100 acres] it belonged to Preston'.  In 1066 Inskip had belonged to Earl Tostig Godwinson the brother of King Harold,who died fighting Harold at the battle of Stamford Bridge;  in 1086 the manor was held by King William.   Later it was given to Roger de Poitou as part of a large land holding in the new county of Lancashire which buffered England and Scotland. 

In 1160-1170 The Master Serjeant of the area appears to have been Anglo Saxon, Ughtred, son of Huck - an indication maybe of the still inhospitable landscape. By the 13th century the manor is held by the de Carlton family, and then passed via marriage to the Botiller or Butler family of Rawcliffe.– “The manor of Inskip was given by her father to Alicia daughter of William de Carleton in 1281 on her marriage to Richard Botiller”.  By 1285 the manor is held by Henry de Keighley.  The de Keighley's were prominent in King Henry V's wars with France and supplied Lancashire Bowmen at Agincourt.  A record of the manor in the mid 15th century shows the economy to be based on animal husbandry, and peat, the majority of it being meadow and pasture, moss and marsh. The de Keighley's held the manor of Inskip until 1567 when the male line dies out.  Both they and the Inskip family disappear from the area at the same time, but this may be a complete coincidence.

The name Inskip would have been first used after 1066 by people who lived in the Inskip area - this is supported by the earliest records.  However, by the 17th century no Inskips are recorded around the area at all.  The name appears instead in places further east on the Lancashire/Yorkshire border and also in Bedfordshire, Northumberland, Staffordshire, Sussex and even Devon - before finding its way to America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and Argentina .   It is the story of how, why and when the surname got to and thrived in these places that is of key interest in the One-Name Study.

Y-Chromosome, DNA Studies

The people around Inskip are said to be from a mix of British Celtic, Angle and Scandinavian descent - supported by the early history of the area.

DNA studies have become increasingly popular over the last 20 years.  Family DNA testing is done on part of the Y chromosome that is passed unchanged from father to son; it can therefore show origin and links between people with the same surname.  In the early 00's Mike Inskip from Staffordshire undertook an early DNA Y chromosome test for ethnic origin of the male Inskip line.  This showed his line to be British Celtic - the oldest ethnic group in the British Isles.

In 2010 the One-Name Study organized a DNA Y-chromosome study run by University of Leicester.  This included people with the name Inskip, Inskipp and Inskeep from both the UK and the US. 

The study concluded that all forms came from the same single hereditary surname founder; probably from around the 12th-13th century.  The earliest paper record currently is for Alan de Inskip who lived in the mid 12th century, around the village of Inskip.   Alan’s descendents do seem to have continued using the name 'de Inskip' legally for property holding.  Alan may or may not have been our Inskip founder.

That means that all those born with the Inskip, Inskeep and Inskipp surname are ‘kin’, with a co-ancestry – apart from those who were adopted or had what is called a 'non-paternity' event, that is to say a father in the line was not a biological 'Inskip'.

This study also concluded that the Y-chromosome genetic inheritance of the Inskip surname appeared to be British Celtic.  The genetic group (haplogroup) the Inskips belong to is broadly R1b and more specifically R-S116.

Early Inskips

People associated with the village of Inskip in 1086 at the time of the Domesday book have mainly Scandinavian names with some Angle and Norman; they were:-

Alflaed; Alfred; Alwine; Arnketil; Biarni; Claman; Dolgfinnr; Earl Edwin; Earl Tosti; Egbrand; Everard, man of William de Percy; Flotmann; Gamal; Gamal Barn; Gluniairnn; Gospatric; Gunnar; Hrafnsvartr; Ketil; Leysingr; Orm; Ramkel; Rawn; Roger de Poitou; Suneman; Thor; Thorbiorn; Thorbrandr; Thorfinnr; Thorgrim; Thorkil; Toli; Ulf; Ulfkil; William; William de Percy; Wulfric

The earliest Inskips found to date are as follows and seem highly likely to be one family:-

• Alan de Inskip - born 1100's, mentioned in the hereditary line of Richard de Inskip
• Richard de Inskip - 1226,  William de Carleton, Lord of the Manor,  released to Dieulacres Abbey, Leek, Staffordshire, Richard, son of Richard, son of Alan de Inskip
• Margery de Inskip – 1246, mentioned in the Lancashire Assizes Rolls as wife of Thomas de Inskip deceased. Residence unknown
• Robert de Inskip - is given as father of Adam.
• Adam de Inskip - 1280's, Inskip in Sowerby; with children Robert de Inskip, Richard de Inskip, William de Inskip, Thomas de Inskip & Agnes de Inskip of Upper Rawcliffe. Adam and Robert challenge William de Carleton over some land in Inskip around 1280, when the manor is given to Alicia and Richard Botiller. Adam and his children were forever bartering over land.
• John de Inskyp of Wyttyngham - 1285 had land at Whittingham, involved in a dispute over a beck.
• Robert fitz Alan de Inskipp - 1298,  Manucaptor of Henry de Keighley of the manor of Inskip
• Hugh and William Inscippe - abt 1321 also Manucaptors for Henry Keighley.  Time of Scottish raids.                                                                                                 Manucaptor = a person empowered to take bail and capture a person who forfeits it.
• Thomas de Inscip-1322, receives a pardon from Edward II for his part in a rebellion by the Earl of Lancaster and other barons against the King. The barons had been angry that the King's 'favourite' Hugh Despener had used his position to strengthen his landholdings in Wales and the Marches. The barons captured London and the king exiled Despener, agreeing to pardon Lancaster and his 500 supporters.
• Rico (Richard) de Inskip – 1332 (possibly son of Robert) lived in Inskip paying lay subsidy on his goods to the Abbey of Combermere (in Royal custody) to fund Edward III war with Scotland.

Notable Inskips

• William Inskypp - 1513, leased a coalmine at Gateshead from the Bishop of Durham and who thus must have been born in the late 1400’s. The Gateshead mines had some of the best coal in Europe and were situated in Pipewellgate (NZ25236359).

Inskip says - So far as I am informed, I am happy to say that they were without rank or title. They belonged to the honest yeomanry of their day. There were among them several who took the impress of their character from their neighbor, Oliver Cromwell. On political and church questions, they were 'reformers'.
