I think that there's one example in Sharp's MSS, but he didn't publish it; and there's a set from Hammond/Gardiner in Frank Purslow's Wanton Seed.

Fred Alberts I know nothing about, beside an example of another of his songs I came across yesterday which was printed in the later 1870s; a useful date comparison, but no more than that.

Are you George Frampton, then? I hate internet psudonyms; like to know who I'm "talking" to!
