GUEST,Alistair Origin: We Smuggling Boys are Merry Boys (6) RE: We Smuggling Boys are Merry Boys 03 Sep 07

Thanks for all your help. I've seen the smuggling web site and although a fascinating site it doesn't lead us much further. Thanks for searching the broadside index. I had just tried the folksong index and forgot about the broadside index. I suspect this is the nearest we will get to an original source. Hook, being a printer from Brighton might be expected to print a broadside about a happening in SE England.

So, no closer to a tune but perhaps the origin is found. I guess a trip to the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library will be the easiest way of at least seeing a microfilm copy.

Has anyone got any other thoughts?
