Hi Richie
I do my best when advising Steve of errors in the Roud Index but quite often, especially with American more obscure collections, Steve only has a title or a first line to go on and I don't have copies of everything. The idea is if you know of a definite mistake let either Steve or me know and we will eventually correct it.

Yes, 402 was the old number. When we decided to sort out the different songs under that number Steve decided to give 2 new numbers but probably left the few we didn't have access to under the old number, likewise any still in the wrong place will be because we don't have enough info on those versions to allocate the correct number. This is a problem when 2 distinct songs start with the same verse and sometimes share titles.

Then there is the added complication of what if you only have the first verse? Where does it go?
