Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire were in the area of Danes Law (old Mercia) in England. So quite possibly you could have Viking ancestors.

Inkersall : English: habitation name from a place in Derbyshire, recorded in the 13th century as Hinkershil(l) and Hinkreshill. The final element is OE (Old English) hyll Hill; the first may be the ON personal name Ingvarr (see Inger) or an OE byname meaning 'Limper' (cf. Hinchcliffe and Hinckley). Ekwall suggests that it may represent a contracted version of OE hingna aecer monks' field (cf. hine and Acher).
