Hi,

I checked-- Unfortunate Swain is actually still Roud 60 a couple versions are 18829 but if you do a Roud search "Unfortunate Swain" it's Roud 60. I assume that was left over from days past.

They should all be 18829 I suppose, as for changing the number I think 18829 is fine and I know "Deep in Love" is the accepted title (via Baring-Gould) and although that makes no sense - that's the way it is. I'd prefer "Down in the Meadow" or "Down in Yon Meadow" so that's what I'm using. Maybe it can changed someday to Down in the Meadow.

Do you know how to access "John Johnson MS book"? Says: (digital copy in Vaughan Williams Memorial Library) p.31. Since there are digital copies it should be available- maybe not tho.

Thanks,

Richie
