Subject: RE: Origins: Two Child Ballads from North America
I am at it again

In the year 1696 Griselda Sinclair, daughter of the Earl of Rosslyn married a Captain Wedderburn and somewhere I have seen a reference to the ballad having appeared pre 1735. I have been shot down before on that date on this forum but live in hope that I may yet again find the reference.


Steve.
I met Ronnie on one occasion but have no knowledge of the book.

So far Anderson is the only one I can find who mentions that the Kennedys of Bargany burned Auchruglen Castle in the 14th.C. with the Kennedys of Casseills having attacked Loudon Castle in the 16th.C. with no mention of them burning it.
