Sorry for misleading you, Nigel, John also republished Charles Hindley's 2 volume 'Curiosities of Street literature' in 1966, nearly all 19th century and mostly 'last goodnights' and similar printed by Disley and Hodges. I have both volumes and Real Sailor Songs. I'm not aware that he published any other collections but if he did I'd like to know. They won't show up in my indexes as having been published by John as my indexes only show authors. Billy Weekes would probably know and I could email him if he doesn't pop up here.
