When I was looking into the origins of John Fenwick, I found references to that name for the tune and the oldest Northumbrian version is called "The Flower of Yarraw". It's often not clear where some of these tunes originated, especially with tunes from the borders. It is quite possible that both Jamie Allen & John Fenwick originated in Scotland. We'll probably never know for certain.
