A note in Doyle's '''Plain Brown Tune Book''' (1997), based on the Ellis Knowles manuscripts, says the tune is a "Scottish tune popular in Lancashire." Attesting to its popularity, the tune can also be found in other 19th century English tune books as well. For example, it appears (in a truncated version) in the Joseph Kershaw manuscript from the North West of England. Kershaw was a fiddler who lived in Slackcote, Saddleworth, in the 19th century, and his manuscript dates from around 1820 onwards, and (as "Lord Moires Return to Kettam") in British army fifer John Buttery of Lincoln's copybook, compiled during his twenty years' service. He joined the 34th Regiment in Lincoln around the turn of the 19th century. | |||
