No need. 'Patience Kershaw' is quoted in thread  child labor & girl coal miner (Patience Kershaw), where there is also a link to a midi of the tune, transcribed from My Song is My Own. Roy Palmer's notes from Poverty Knock (Cambridge University Press, 1974, 43) are also quoted: he reproduced the passage from the report, but not Higgins' song on the subject (which is now also in the DT, at  TESTIMONY OF PATIENCE KERSHAW).
