A copy of the Harkness broadside may be seen at the  Bodleian Library Broadside Collection:

Henry & Nancy; or the lover's seperation  (sic.) Printed between 1840 and 1866 by J. Harkness, 121, Church Street, Preston.

The Steeleye Span recording isn't significantly different; it's just the version given above with some verses omitted.  BigJ; are you in a position to make a midi of the tune for the Mudcat Midi Pages?  If you can't, I'll do it; it's a fine tune.
