The notes to the Topic CD collection of Anne Briggs recordings (by Colin Harper) concur with the information given above by John Moulden and others: collected by Thomas Doubleday and contributed by him to Blackwood's Magazine in 1921, with melody obtained from a Newcastle street singer - given in 'Northumbrian Minstrelsy' (1882 repr 1965) as 'My Love Is Newly Listed'. Anne Briggs 'A Collection' Topic TSCD504 (1999). Thus, Topic was on the right track - at least in its latest issue of Briggs material.
