@Matthew,

Yeah, I'd imagine it's housed somewhere in America, alright.   I've contacted the archives section of Manchester Public Libraries, as they have a number of Bebbington/Pearson ballad sheets, but they have no record of "Bebbington, #206"   I've come across aother version which has the exact verse above, and most importantly, cites "Miss Grizzle."   It was printed by Alexander Mayne, High Street, Belfast.   If I can get my hands on the Bebbington version and compare them, it will unlock a few doors for me.   Here's hoping!

Thanks for the help, a chara.

(Would you know when Mayne was active in Belfast?   1880s???)
