Re. The Lane catalogue entry for Fine Flowers of the Valley. Roud does give the date as 1795.

The full entry from the Lane catalogue is:

---

839. Fine flowers of the valley. To which
are added, Frennet Hall, and My Nanny O.
1795 sm. 16°. pp.8. Wdct on t.p.
                                                                  33.11
The first piece is in the form of the ballad of the
"Cruel brother" given in Herds " Scottish songs,"
i. 88. Child, No. 11 (i. 148).

"The modern, and extremely vapid, ballad of,
'Frennet Hall' appeared originally (I suppose) in
Herd's 'Scottish songs,' 1776, i. 142." Child, iv.
39. The old ballad, "The fire of Frendraught,"
(Child, No. 196) tells the same story in greater
detail.
