I would like to point out that it will most likely be Irish people who decend from Norwegian Vikings as this was their main recidens on the British Isles (and the Isle of Man). The Vikings in England was mainly frome Denmark, of course there must have been a great deal of Norwegians as well, but mainly danish.
The Norwegian Vikings of Dublin were expelled and they then went on to settle on the Lancashire coast, which at that time must have been an incredibly desolate place (it still is, if you mistakenly take a holiday at Pontins... ), marshy and low-lying. It was also close to the main route through to York, the Ribble, where some of the Vikings stashed their treasure, The Cuerdale Hoard. Irish Norwegians.
