That’s what I want to see too — a list of the original surnames. I bet they all end in ‘vik.’
I'm not sure what you mean. Let's assume your name is Smith, do a google search using this: Smith Family DNA Project. You get lots of Smith 'stuff.'
The industrial age seems to have begun firing up in Liverpool between 1815 and 1835. According to the article, the industrial revolution led to a large import of people into the area, so by “original” one might assume they meant prior to then. Starting in 1766, there was a street directory for Liverpool that listed the names of inhabitants.

If you want something from earlier, may check to see if the area was included in the Domesday Book. I read that London was not.
