Weyhill Fair is here on Mudcat: Lyr Req: Weyhill Fair (John Kirkpatrick) from the singing of John Kirkpatrick and Roy Palmer's notes are in the thread. According to those he fitted it to a "tune collected by Frank Kidson". At a quick glance it does look, name apart, pretty much the same as the version above (few minor differences I noted).

I've also got Edward Peacock's other version from Notes and Queries now. It looks like a slightly garbled version of the above; verse order changed and some other differences. I'll try and post it later for completeness.

(Also when referring to the tune used in Yellowbelly Songs above, I said it was from a reference in sources of Ozark tunes; that was my bad memory. It should have been from Notes and sources for folksongs of the Catskills by Norman Cazden, Herbert Haufrecht, Norman Stud; it's in the section on tune relatives of Missie Mouse (Nancy Dawson)).
