- Origins Available:
 England Of all the Anglo-Saxon names to come from Britain, Liversidge is one of the most ancient. The name is a result of the original family having lived in the township of Liversedge located in the parish of Bristall just miles from Leeds. Early Origins of the Liversidge familyThe surname Liversidge was first found in West Yorkshire at Liversedge, a township that dates back to the Domesday Book where it was listed as Livresec, 1 a manor belonging to Radulf, a vassal of Ilbert de Lacy. The place name probably means "edge or ridge of a man called Leofhere," from the Old English personal name + "ecg." 2 The township includes the hamlets of Millbridge, Littletown, Hightown, the Heights, and Robert-Town. Liversedge Hall was anciently the property of the Neville family, lords of the manor. Today the hall is in ruins and slight remains can be seen.
