YAY... I found it

"Saely Kelly

Saely or Susanna Kelly was notated from the harp playing of Charles Byrne by the young Edward Bunting, the transcriber attending the harpers at the famous 1792 Harpers Assembly in Belfast's Exchange Rooms. There is, however, an element of doubt as to the fact that O'Carolan was the composer of this piece. Charles Byrne antributed it to O'Carolan, but in another part of his work, Bunting attributes it to Connellan, a harper composer of a century earlier"

taken from this site

I already have Susanna Kelly in a book of O'Carolan stuff...

thanks for the help
