This was on a Derbyshire recording certainly involving Mick Peat probably Ripley Wayfarers

Also Poverty Knocks (see Yorkshire Garland website yorkshirefolksong.net women in mills fromn young age

Re Patience Kershaw incident at Huskar Pit, Silkstone nr Barnsley occurred in 1838, took until 1842 for the inquiry to take place into children and women working in the mines ~ in which the details of Patience Kershaw became encapsulated. It is a stunning song, made popular by Roy Bailey and sung by Kathryn Roberts being most local to the events
