Well, wiki says

the blight / famine took "many fewer lives [in Scotland than in Ireland] .... there was relatively little starvation [in Scotland]). Although "The terms on which charitable relief was given, however, led to destitution and malnutrition amongst its recipients."

can't see anything much about Lancashire on the web, other than that lots of Irish people went there during the famine. Which I guess suggests they weren't as badly hit, either?
