Hi Ross, I have done some family history research, on my wife's family as well as my own. My wife's great-grandfather lived in Shotts, not so very far from Newmains, in the early 1870s. He and two of his brothers attended a Moody and Sankey revival meeting at this time. It changed the course of the family completely, all three became city missionaries, one brother in Glasgow, my wife's great-grandfather and the other brother in Sydney. And from their writings I know that they remained very fond of the Sankey hymnbook (which I take to be "Sacred Songs and Solos").
