James Hay's Tune Book - page 153 DSCF1201
Religious music of 19th century Scotland.
This tune-book belonged to my grandfather’s grandfather, for 45 years the teacher on the island of Flotta in Orkney, for the Scottish Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge. Its flyleaf is inscribed James Hay's Tune Book, October 14, 1843.
Jame's son Charles was born two weeks later, and joined the Hudson's Bay Company in 1862. He landed in Canada at York Factory, later worked in the fur trade, and eventually settled in Portage la Prairie. He was a member of the Manitoba legislature. More about him at ellingtonweb/Hay/CharlesHay.htm
Inside the back cover is a childlike signature Samuel Hay. This may have been James' son Samuel, born 1849 in Flotta, or it might be Charles' son Samuel Earle Norfolk Hay, born 1885 in Portage la Prairie.
