Before 1066:

Falaise, Normandy, France; son of Robert, Duke of Normandy & Herleva/Arlette, daughter of Fulbert, a tanner; 2nd cousin of the King, Edward the Confessor; William defeated King Harold II (Harold Godwinson, Edward's brother in law) at the Battle of Hastings

North West England
After 1066: 
"The land between the rivers Ribble & Mersey"; Land that belonged to the king, neutral territory, not belonging to either Mercia or Northumbria; Area wasn't termed "Lancashire" yet.

http://www.heversham.org/heversham_history_bingham_1.html  
"William the Conqueror’s Norman Conquest did not touch Westmorland though the Normans under Roger of Poitou crossed Morecambe Bay and took over Furness which became part of Lancashire..."

1069; http://www.geocities.com/kera2000_uk/history.html 
To repress a rising and rebellion in Yorkshire & Cheshire , William I "took vigorous military & administrative action". "Estates belonging to English landowners were confiscated and allocated to William's followers as part of a policy of creating powerful lordships to act as a front line against invaders and to to keep the local population in check."
http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page18.asp
"William systematically devastated Mercia and Northumbria to deprive the Danes of their supplies and prevent recovery of English resistance. Churches and monasteries were burnt, and agricultural land was laid to waste, creating a famine for the unarmed and mostly peasant population which lasted at least nine years."

(Cheshire wasn't as thoroughly devastated as Lancashire, Westmoreland, Cumberland and Northumberland & Yorkshire when King William attacked the counties "in a rage" over rebellious barons.)

William's Knight: Roger Poitevin

Roger de Poitou (probably King William's Knight named "Roger de Poitevin") was given several districts by King William for his services--and for his father's services. Roger de Poitou was the 3rd son of Roger de Montgomery II, Norman Earl of Arundel, Chichester & Shrewsbery (William's cousin) who assisted William at the Battle of Hastings by providing about 60 ships for the conquest--or commanded part of the battle--and protected Normandy while William ruled England.
Various spellings can be found for Roger Poitou: 
Poitou, Pictavensis, Pictavis, Pictou, Pictuauensis, Poictou, Poitevin, Poitiers & Poictiers
*Poitiers used to be the capital of Poitou, France 
*Roger de Poitou (after 1066) built (or repaired an existing) castle in West Derby; probably a wooden construction of a "motte & bailey", "figure of eight design"

Roger de Poitou's holdings: 
After 1066 (1070's?), Roger received large holdings of property in the area between the rivers Ribble & Mersey and Amounderness but they were confiscated by King William I sometime before 1086. The estates were granted to him again after 1087 by the king's son, William II and Lonsdale, Cartmel, & Furness were added. In 1102, his holdings were confiscated again when he rebelled against Henry I and were given to Stephen de Blois
Areas around Liverpool: 
Allerton; Bootle; Childwall; Huyton; Knowsley; Kirkby; Kirkdale; Newsham; Roby; Sefton; Speke; Toxeth; Up & Down Litherland; Walton on the Hill; Wavertree; West Derby; Woolton (Much & Little Woolton)

CHURCH established  within 25 miles of Liverpool: St. Michael & all Angels, Church St., Croston, C of E, before 1075

1081; Roger de Poitou lost two important Lancashire lordships, Crosby and Warrington. (Got in trouble with the king? Sided with the King's son, Robert, in a rebellion?) But as an 'under-tenant' he still held 45 coastal holdings from West Derby north to the Ribble." (Mainly what is now known as the Southport area). http://www.infokey.com/counties/Southport.htm 

Sometime after the Conquest, Roger de Poitou held Lancaster; yet, in 1081, it was "administered" by Earl Tosti. (Tosti also administered Ribchester and Preston). 

Most of the rest of southern Lancashire--not belonging to, or no longer belonging to Roger de Poitou--was held directly or indirectly by the king.
Northern Lancashire was held directly or indirectly by the king: Heysham, Furness, Bardsea, Marton (Blackpool), Warton (Carnforth), & Lytham. 

1086; Domesday Book: (Book of Winchester); Commissioned December, 1086; Two Volumes
It was a severe and comprehensive accounting of land and resources: workers, plowing capacity, mills, fishponds--everything. It was used to determine taxation and helped settle disputes. It included the value of land & property in three ways: 1) value at the time of Edward the Confessor's death 2) value when the new owners received it 3) and the value at the time of the survey. The taxes were used in part to buy off the Danish armies.
Terms of levies and assessments were irrevocable: a final judgment; hence, "Domesday" a tem used later in the 12th century.)
NOT ALL PLACES WERE LISTED IN THE DOMESDAY BOOK;
There were places that existed--but weren't listed. 
It appears that most of the areas mentioned were rural. 
For some reason, London, Winchester (a royal town) & other towns were not mentioned in the Doomsday Book.
"WASTE": 
Land that was not described in detail; Possibly areas from previous battles, or areas not taxed for various reasons, or areas uncultivated or unfit.
"GO WHERE HE WILL"; 
Term used for Anglo Saxon land owners who had jurisdiction over their land, causing disputes with the Normans after the Conquest.

"In 1086 Roger de Poitou, third son of a cousin of William the Conqueror, started building (Lancaster) Castle, probably using stone left on the hilltop from the late-Roman Fort. The first phase was completed in 1090." The Norman Baron was to hold the territory against the Scots.

1094, The first written evidence for a church in Poulton is a document drawn up in 1094 when Roger de Poitou, the Norman knight to whom Amounderness had been granted after the Conquest, presented the church in Poulton to the Abbey at Sees in Normandy.

Those with the established dates are listed in the notes above. Those with unknown established dates are listed below.  The list is still incomplete.
