Excerpt from The Races of Lancashire: As Indicated by the Local Names and the Dialect of the County

The Celtic local names of the county are conclusive evi dence of the fact that a Celtic race once inhabited it, but the Celtic words still existing in the dialect Show more decisively that a portion of the aboriginal race remained on the soil after the anglo-saxon and Danish conquerors had taken pos session of it. They furnish also data for an approximate cal culation of the ratio which this element bears to that of the races with which it was mingled in process of time.
