Hi y'all, I think I have found it. It's Roud 1414, variously called Molly/Mary and William, Floating down the Tide, In Cambridge Town. The Full English has various versions. The story is boy courts girl, girl gets pregnant and drowns herself. It has elements of The Oxford Girl and The Old Riverside, but appears to be a separate song. My thanks to the above contributors for their interest. Tradsinger
