GUEST,John Moulden Origins: Sweet Connlough Bay? / ...Carnlough Bay (22) RE: Origins: Sweet Connlough Bay? / ...Carnlough Bay 17 Dec 10


The reference above is wrong it should be volume 18 page 31. At this stage the Journal was edited by Donal J. O'Sullivan. The snippet view does not reveal that this version was contributed by Colm O'Lochlainn and that his source was Cathal O'Byrne - as in Irish Street Ballads - and the words are the same save for small differences.

The version in the DT as Carnloch Bay - see Malcolm Douglas' (RIP) entry above - is a puzzle. Has anyone any idea where I can find documentation of the source of this version? It is said to be "From Paddy Graber, Vancouver, 1967; Learned in Ireland, ca
1929-1930, from David Young, Omagh Co., Tyrone." and the note is signed 'MS' - I intend to look up MS in the DT and start a new thread directing this inquiry at him/her but perhaps someone will save me the effort and add the information.
