Unless, of course, the tune existed under a different name earlier, and I'm relying on Jack Campin to let us know, if so!

And, while I'm posting excessively, people often note that "this tune is usually played as reel" (which is how it's written down), meaning without the bouncy "dotted-note" feel. I came on this from Pete Cooper in my researches on the tune (and also posted it elsewhere):

"[The Scottish fiddler in Tyneside, mid 1800s] James Hill's music made the most lasting impact. His repertoire included waltzes, jigs, reels and strathspeys, but his hornpipes became famous in his own time, and are played today. … Hill's tunes represent an evolutionary development of the hornpipe form. The introduction of a 'dotted,' or more accurately, 'triplet swing,' rhythm is combined with new bowing patterns, especially the use of slurs across the beat. William C. Honeyman, in his 1898 'Strathspey, Reel and Hornpipe Tutor,' termed it the Newcastle Style."

So, to play it as written is appropriate, despite our current associations with the term "hornpipe".
