Walter Halliday
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter Halliday (also spelled Halladay, Haliday, Halyday, and Holliday) was a long-serving royal minstrel in England in the 15th century. He was a founder member of a minstrels' guild which was the forerunner of the present Worshipful Company of Musicians. He is believed to be the founding father of the Halliday family of Gloucestershire,[1] and an ancestor of some of the Halliday/ Holladay/ Holliday/ Hollyday families in the United States.[2]
