"Old" William Lamshaw has a beefy wikipedia entry. He was born about 1712, married in Morpeth in 1752 and was one of Morpeth Town Waits. From 1775 he was Piper to the Duchess of Northumberland - a post in which he was followed by "young" William Lamshaw, who might or might not have been his son.

On the High Level Ranters album, it sounds a bit more like a polka rather than a reel to me.
