Steve Gardham	Origins: Sarah -- traditional Irish/Newfoundland (17)	RE: Origins: Sarah -- traditional Irish/Newfoundland	16 Jan 17
Clues to the origins of songs can sometimes be found in the lyrics themselves. The electric torch wasn't invented until 1899 and in America and Canada it was/is called a flashlight. Presumably a flaming torch is not being referred to. Unfortunately there are lots of Music Hall songs that start their titles with the name Sarah as you would expect.
