I've just come back to this song. The Roud index has no entry for Come Nancy Will You Marry Me - not at all, let alone collected by RVW.

There are, however, entries for Henry and Nancy, whose first line is Pretty Nancy will you wed. (This is the only song with Nancy will in either the title or the first line, apart from 3 others, which have Nancy will you come to be to me or similar and Oh what words dear Nancy will prevail).

The Henry and Nancy, with first line Pretty Nancy Will You Wed can be found in:

Baring-Gould Broadside Collection Vol.1.2, No.57

and broadsides in the Madden Collections, published by Pitts, Catnach, and Quick.

I've had a quick look at the Bodleian and the BBBA and can't see any copy of this. Maybe Steve can help?
