The song 'The Maid with the Milking Pail' is in the British Library catalogue as being by Edward Fitzwilliam with 'poetry' by J B Buckstone (1802-1879). Buckstone, who also wrote a comedy with the same name, was a famous actor-manager and playwright. He also wrote 'The Green Bushes' a play with a song that has since turned up occasionally as 'trad'.
