GUEST,Mick Pearce (MCP) Origins: James Madison Carpenter & Child Ballads (132* d) RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter & Child Ballads 19 Mar 18


Sorry about previous - accidentally submitted.

I went through the Roud Index counting up version by location the other day.

While the USA and Scotland had many entries (41 and 28 I think; I didn't try to resolve these into individual sources), England, Ireland and Northern Ireland provide relatively modest numbers.

England comes down to 4 sources - Mr,Smart (FSUT), and three more recent: Mrs Eyre (1962, coll.Collinson, Glouc.), Mrs Stanley (1967, the Cheshire version referred to above), and Jeff Wesley (1888, Northampton).

N.Ireland boils down to the Quinn version.

Ireland gives only the Maturin reference given above.
